NEW K8N Neo Platinum BIOS *OFFICIAL*
Version 1.6 is out. get it while its hot! Doesn't look like anything major....but hell I always give it a try.
1. This is Award BIOS release.
2. This BIOS fixes the following problem of the previous version:
- Update CPU ID.
3. 2005/03/10
Update: I flashed my BIOS and everything is running great. Temps are about the same or Maybe SLIGHTLY lower with my 3200+ clawhammer. I turned back on agressive timings because it was giving me bluescreens before to see if it will work now. So far....RUNNING GREAT. I don't OC(college) so somebody else can report on that.

When are they ever gonna sort out the bios for maxtor diamond max 10 16 meg cache ncq drives i got 2 of them and i need something done, i cannot be the only ser having troubles with, this board and maxtor ncq drives, what makes it worse it=s both these drives are showing signs of being damaged now. The 300 gig is making some rather strange noises, linke a pinking sound every couple of seconds, until i fromat it again, and now the 250 gig, J partition is freezing, locking, crappy performance issues, and i cannot format it using windows, it starts, but locks at about 75% busy scanning for bad sectors now, and i expect this to stick@75% as well, surely both hardd drives cannot be broken, from 2 different copanies, its the board killing them.
MSI get your RRRRSSS ito gear and test these max 10 ncq drives with your hardware, then actually do something to make them work, for gods sake they are just hard drives, and on a side note, if anyone from maxtor ever views this, or if your thinking about buying a maxtor drive, answer my emails you morons. Go back to school and learn to read, then you could reply to the emails. MAxtor support sucks.
somehow, I doubt the motherboard, which is only attached via a IDE cable, is causing your drives to destroy themselves.

Kingmax Hardcore DDR500 with MSI MS K8N Neo Platinum (Bios Version 1.40)
I am interested in Kingmax Hardcore DDR500 (PC4000) 512MB DDR-SDRAM. Currently, I’m using MSI MS K8N Neo Platinum (Bios Version 1.40) with AMD 64bit 2800+ & MSI MS 8907 FX5200-TD128 AGP Card.
Please advice whether the Kingmax Hardcore DDR500 (PC4000) 512MB DDR-SDRAM compatible with my systems.The "safe mode" that the BIOS message refers to is not related to Windows' Safe Mode. The BIOS safe mode lets you un-do any overclocking or memory settings that might make your computer so unstable that you can't even get into the BIOS settings to change them. In that case, you hold insert while powering on to reset the BIOS to default safe values.
As for your problem getting into Windows' Safe Mode. If you upgraded from another motherboard that uses a different chipset, or if you somehow got the wrong chipset drivers installed, then the old AGP GART or chipset drivers will cause the system to halt/reboot very early in the Windows boot process even in safe mode. I've run into this problem before and its tricky. Best thing to do is switch back to the old motherboard, then go into safe mode and remove all chipset-related drivers, and then switch back to the new motherboard. If you can't do that, try running system repair from the windows setup CD. And failing that, you'd probably have to fully re-install the OS. -
K8N Neo Platinum Bios 1.3 XP 3700 heat question
i did do a quick search on here before posting this question but had a load of varying answers ... so
i have a K8N Neo Platinum Bios 1.3 an xp 3700 and core centre says the chip is at about 45 - 50 degrees when the pc is idle
this is with the stock fan that came with the chip and ive also tried a samurai heatsink and fan .... ive reseated and reapplied artic silver and also tried thermal pads as well and the temp on the processor always comes back as 45 ish degrees
is this normal as the pc seems to run ok and even after round of doom 3 the temps only seem to hit about 55
are these chips hotter now or is it a bios / thermal temp issue
cheers guys
ohh and nice forums BTWyup, issue with temp reading -> 1.43 beta bios for K8N NEO pL. for me 36-39 idle 42-45 after a doom3 session

May be theirs an "Optional adapter" somewhere
Thats what I said, didn't know the socket 754 board(my current board) support s939 platform...it would be cool though
Or maybe the same fixes apply to the Neo2 and they copy 'n pasted the info.. -

Official, non-beta K8N Neo Platinum BIOS when?
Hi,
I see a lot of beta 1.5x BIOS releases for K8N Neo Platinum. Anybody know when the official release will come from MSI???
Thanks.Quote

yes but its also wrong to assume tha beta BIOS are unstable.in fact most these days are rock stable hence the fact they become official. -
K8N Neo Platinum Bios 1.3 Question
This is bit of a dumb question..... I am not a noob either, been building computers for 6 years.
I have a K8N Neo Platinum with AMD64 3000, 1 GB Corsair Value Ram, 160 GB Western Digital ATA Drive, ATI 9800 Pro 128MB Catalyst 4.7, LG DVD Drive and NEC 2510A DVD burner, Windows XP Pro with SP 1a.
Tried to get into Safe Mode the other day ( to uninstall the video driver with Driver Cleaner) ...Hit F8 while booting , got the standard menu for safe mode, picked the standard "Safe Mode " option....then the computer restarts.
So I can't get into safe mode
I went back to the MSI website to get bios version again....then I saw this for Bios version 1.3 which I have on my board....
Quote
System reboot to safe mode when "Insert" key pressed
Does this mean, instead of hitting F8...you hit the insert key , or does this mean hit F8, chose the menu selection you want , then hit insert while it is going through the boot process.
Thought that I would ask?The "safe mode" that the BIOS message refers to is not related to Windows' Safe Mode. The BIOS safe mode lets you un-do any overclocking or memory settings that might make your computer so unstable that you can't even get into the BIOS settings to change them.

K8N NEO Platinum BIOS 1.8
I updated to this, only to find my machine would not boot to Windows. This, presumably because it was using 1T when, with two double-sided DIMMS, I require 2T. I couldn’t find anywhere to change that setting.
I noted on the boot screen that it was a workstation BIOS, and the flash utility is 859G rather than the usual 833C.
Got 1.7 on there now.

Previous 1.7 BIOS is 2T Commandrate display on POST Screen.
1.8 Bios is 1T Commandrate display on POST Screen.
then, run Memtest86 1.55+ result no error on 1.7BIOS
but, run Memtest86 1.55+ result a lot of error on 1.8BIOS

K8N Neo Platinum BIOS 1.4 temperatures
When I upgraded my K8N Neo Platinum from BIOS version 1.3 to 1.4 temperatures jumped up by 7 to 10 degrees and average vcore dropped by about .03 volts (both read from Core Center).
Both readings reverted back when I switched back to BIOS 1.3. I'm just concerned as to which is more accurate. I was planning on doing some mild overclocking on this system, but if the 1.4 readings are right (51C idle) then I don't have much room.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any idea on which temps are more accurate?
My system:
K8N Neo Platinum (socket 754)
A 64 3400 (Newcastle)
Enermax 550 watt power supply
Thermaltake Venus 12 CPU coolerIf you check around you will see, especially as applies to Neo2s the temp numbers are all screwed up. With all prior bioses my computer showed temps ranging from +175 to -128 irrespective of load.
This is especially irksome as I am vapor cooling and know from an external temp probe I installed right on top of the heat spreader on the CPU that I am running well below zero even under full load.
I cannot comment on the 1.41 bios yet because my board decided to blow up a capacitor last week and I haven't received my replacement yet. -
New k8n neo platinum w/ long beeps on post
I just bought a new mobo and processor and when I get it to boot it just posts long beeps.
I started out with mem in all 3 slots - got long beeps
pulled mem out of slot 2 and 3 - got long beeps
unplugged power and plugged back in - system dead
moved mem in slot 1 to slot 2 - got long beeps
unplugged power and plugged back in - system dead
moved mem from slot 2 to slot 3 - got long beeps
unplugged power and plugged back in - system dead
unplugged power and plugged back in - system dead
unplugged power and plugged back in - system dead
moved mem from slot 3 to slot 1 - got long beeps
It seems that I have to change the mem config for the box to even power up....
I pulled the video card also with same results.
The mobo is a k8n neo nvidia nforce 3 250gb
the processor is amd 64 socket 754 3000+
the memory is IBM 33L5039 1gb pc2100 CL2.5 2.5V DDR ECC (it also has a Samsung tag on it that says Korea H 0405 PC2100R -25331-NO M312L2828ETO-CBO 1GB DDR PC2100 CL2.5 ECC)
The power supply is an Intel ATX 12v AMD Recommended that ouputs 400w max
power chart reads:
red +5v 35a
yellow +12v 15a
white -5v .05a
blue -12v .08a
purple +3.3v 22a
brown 5vsb 3a

Anyone have an idea what could be wrong or where I can find an answer.Hi gotmud,
I think you may find your a little underpowered with your PSU.
What graphics card & drives have you plugged in.
See Basic Building Tips - Quote
As this pertains to A64's make sure that you have a power supply that is either approved for use by MSI/AMD or that you have plenty of amps on the 12 volt rail. Typically we have noted many issues based on stability with PSU's being rated at less than 24A on the 12v rail.
Until you get a stable system it would be best to work with just 1 memory module in slot 1 -

I am trying to find the thread that was moved to the BIOS section? Can't find it.
I've been really lucky with this OCing and putting stuff together. I'm self taught and 45. I got burnt in 1999 with a compaq presario 500mhz. I'm very poor and started reading. I did have a MSI board but can't remember what it was. Never used the new MB. OOOHHH... I just found the disk. It was a MSI M6340M.
Thanks for the help so far and in the future. I am really tired of OC'ing the 2600+ mobile. Have I made it to the 64 group!?

if you need OC tips open a new thread into OC section. btw what kind of board is that M6340M? sound like OEM product cannot find info as well. -

Hello
My motherboard had the BIOS version 1.6 until I realised it couldn't network boot properly (just got a screen full of smiley face characters?) but if I upgrade to any later version I can't seem to enter the BIOS setup at all - I just get a flashing cursor in the top left of my screen. I can load my OS but when it comes to changing the boot order etc. I'm stuck. Has anybody else had this problem / know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance
LukeIt's using a newcastle rev. GC , and i have never gotten it to work with the "new" bioses .
Problems just having it to post , just like you have .(last tested a 2.x version of bios)
( a totally new bios line was from all versions released after 1.7) .
I have it using a self made EasyBIOS based on 1.5B6. See no reason to ever upgrade it again as it runs just fine as is .
Users with semprons and cpu then having a rev.E stepping may be the only ones needing a newer bios for this board
All others having either clawhammers or newcastle cpu's should stay at 1.7 or a lower one is my personal meaning. -
