Occasional Boot up problems, with K8N Neo2 Plat.

Hey everyone,
I've had this setup for a couple weeks now and I'm still experiencing random problems booting up. I thought I had concluded that it was fast writes issue, however the other day it did it again.
What happens is while loading winxp.. right before it's going to actually get into windows it just hangs. Now sometimes I can just hit the reset button and then the next time around I will get the safe mode menu and if I select normal boot it will boot up fine this time. Any ideas? I'm using the latest 1.4 bios, and tried both the latest nforce drivers from nvidia's site and those beta 6 ones that are floating around.
The system works perfect aside from this issue, once I'm in windows it's rock solid. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks..

It may be worth a look but it was dexterryu talk of instability

When I even try to install windows when the drive is on Sata 3 or 4 the pre-install hangs after loading the Nforce driver
That made me suggest looking at memory as well.
Other than booting you say your system seems stable.
Have a look hereCorsair Memory Identify your memory & see if there's a * next to it, if there is then Quote
* These parts support 2-3-3-6 latency on Intel platforms, and 2.5-3-3-6 latency on AMD platforms
applies. Don't think it does in your case be best if you confirm it yourself.
Your issue seems to be more about windows trying to detect your raid.
It wouldn't do any harm to slacken your memory timings to see if it makes any diff.
but I think in the longer run you would get better results with the updated Raid Bios & Updated Raid Drivers . See Beta Bios & Drivers

Problem with K8N neo2 plat. and ram

Hello everyone
Recently I had 2*512mo of PC3200 ( double side ), they hold all approximately 235mhz has 2.5/3/3/8 1T (tested separately)
But, when I puts them into dual they are stable under memtest always with 235 2.5/3/3/8 1T but are unstable under Windows, under xp they are stable until 207mhz maximum whereas they hold much higher under memtest
If I want to be stable A 235mhz under Windows it is necessary that I put them in 2T but y' has an enormous loss of perf
I tested different bios (1.37mod, 1.4 official, 1.41mod, 1.5 official, 1.8r3mod, 1.9 official and 1.B4mod) and always the same problem I also tested on port 1 and 3 (near to the CPU) and 2 and 4 but there it is still worse
Here if you have suggestion they are the welcomes
In advance thank you

Freezing issues with K8N Neo2 Plat & 6800 gt

Well I get random freezing during games. Sometimes it freezes for 5-10 seconds then comes back, while other times it just freezes and the sound comes back but not the game.
I had this problem when I first upgraded.
K8N Neo2 plat
1gb corsair xms 3200
athlon 64 3500
aslo have:
420-30? antec tru power supply. I cant remember exact number.
6800gt ultra
audigy 2 plat
Now I first posted my problem a while ago and someone told me to try chaning the HT to 4x instead of 5x. So I did and it worked. It worked for a few weeks and now the problems have come back.
Any Ideas?

Along with the above issues, I've also found that a lot of my gaming probs with the 6800 are due to it being a "bandwidth hog" & it's latency needs to be adjusted lower to enable the other devices on the PCI bus (i.e. sound card) to get enough bandwidth to function properly. This isn't noticeable until you start some heavy gaming with a lot going on at once...
If your game ever practically chugs to a halt when a lot of sounds are being produced, this is the main problem. Here's a way & some notes on how to deal with it. Just like every "tweak" though, it's not guaranteed to work for everyone but I got noticeable benefits from it.
- D/L (I got it @ guru3D) PCI Latency Tool & give the "Read Me" a quick once-over. Write down the values for your devices, in case you need/want to change 'em back. Most items are well labeled - the 6800 & your sound card will be what you are most interested in. I wouldn't mess with the rest of 'em, as they deal with low level system items that are best left alone. Unless you are truly an Uber Geek!
- The latency for my 6800 listed as a massive 248 clks! For some reason, I've read that ATI cards don't default at such a large value, which might explain why people don't seem to have as many performance issues with 'em. Anyhow lower the 6800 to a more "reasonable" value, like 128 or 64. 64 seemed to work best for me.
- Save the settings, reboot & test it out. You can experiement with the sound card latency too, in order to find what works best for you, but I wouldn't set it at less than it's default value (32).
Hope this helps.

Weird start up problem with K8N Neo2

Hello all,
I'm hoping SOMEONE can help me with a very annoying and very perplexing problem with my Neo2. I've read quite a few posts and can't seem to find anything similar to my problem.
Ever since the first time I booted my setup I've gotten this problem where when I power up my PC all the fans start up and the HD starts to spin up as well, but then it makes this click, spins down, then spins back up, clicks, spins down... and well, you get the picture. It keeps doing this until I power off the PC.
The first time this happened I thought the HD had died, especially since I heard a lot of people where having sudden deaths of their Deskstars. So I hooked up another HD I had lying around, but, same problem. So at least I knew the HD was not the problem, and here I was starting to think about how an excellent excuse this was to get a new WD Raptor, LOL!
After fiddling around with the connectors, the cables, the CPU and the memory, I made this last ditch effort to clear the CMOS. Well, low and behold, the damn thing booted up fine. I thought, oh well, sometimes the most obvious solutions are the ones that you never think about. So I install everything and turn it off. Next morning I wake up, turn on the PC, and the hard drive spins up, clicks, spins down, spins back up, clicks and I start to cry.
Well, for the past few days, whenever I want to use my PC I have to clear the CMOS to get it to boot. Stangely enough it works just fine if I don't power it down and after some grueling Doom 3 sessions.
Im thinking it might be a bad CMOS battery, but then it would still boot and it would just loose the settings, right? Or maybe I have a bad CMOS? Or is the board just plain defective?
I'll appreciate any help and insight you guys can give.

Sounds like you are shorted out on a standoff or something. You may want to pull the motherboard and start fresh. Here is some good reading material at this point;

Dual DDR problem with K8N Neo2 Platinium.

Hi all,
I have a new K8N Neo2 Platinium since last week. My configuration is : AMD 64 Venice 3000+, 2 x 256 MB Kingston Value RAM (KVR400X64C25/256) 160GB Seagate SATA, MSI FX5700 VTD 256MB etc...
The problem is I cannot work them in dual DDR mode! But they works in single mode very good. I know that my RAM pairs are not in vendor list! But I love my RAMs..They are CL2.5 and I think they are valuable...
So what can I do?

Deathstalker , lots of value kinston ram is qualified .
Just take a look at NF4 testreport:
http://www.msi.com.tw/html/products/mainboard/testreport_pdf/7125/memory.pdf
And what you say about value ram vs non jedec spec OC ram is often quite the opposite as valueram follows the jedec spec
and is a more "hit" than miss with most motherboards contra what OC ram is .
Dxvideo , make sure you use memory slot 1+2 as said, also try booting to bios with one stick and save cas as 3.0
then install second module . Se if it helps with looser cas value .They also follow jedec SSTL 2.5v standard
but is verified by vendor -/+ 0.25v so you can also set voltage manually to 2.6v (or more) to help them out .
If it worked in dual chl on NF2 doesn't neccesary mean they will on A64 system as this memory controller is more picky than
the external memory controller on NF2 boards.

SATA hard drive problems with k8n neo4 plat

Helo , I am hoping someone can help me with this. I have read Fafner's thread on installing a sata hard drive on the neo4 mb but the only utility program I found on wd site is called " lifeguard11 for windows". Is this the right utility to use to partion my hard drive? I burned it to a cd and and my computer will post but will not boot from that cd. I have followed the instructions that came with the mb and used the floppys at F6 but it won't countinue to install windows after that.
Also I'm not sure how to enable sata in the bios. Do I go to integrated peripherals/sata devices config. and at the top of the screen it say's RAID Enable. Do I enable that and then enable sata1 raid? I am only using one hard drive. Thanks for help you can give.

My system is similar to yours, if your just using the one Raptor you don't need any special drivers, your mother board will detect the Raptor with out any special settings. I hooked my Raptor up to SATA 1 (look on pg 2-2 of your book for the location) If your only planing on installing one operating system on your hard drive, such as windows XP pro, Windows will format and partition the drive for you.
If your having problems booting from a CD make sure you change the boot order in the BIOS (under advanced bios features pg. 3-8 of your manual) so that CD is before HD. For example, mine is set up for: First boot device = Floppy drive, Second boot device = CD Rom, Third boot device = hard drive, and etcetera. if your using more than one hard drive such as an IDE drive make sure you set the "hard disk boot priority" on the same page to the hard drive you want to boot from.
Once that is done put your Windows CD in the CD drive and reboot, Windows will guide you through the rest.

Problem with K8N Neo2

Hello,
I am having problems with my new MB. I have a K8N Neo2 Platinum ms-7025 and when I go into BIOS it will lock up when I enter the HT Frequency area. I have Crucial Ballistix Memory and am trying to get more than 200fsb.
I have built several other systems and haven't had problems with overclocking before.
I am using a SATA in SATA 1, with an ATI Radeon 9500, 1 gig of Crucial Ballistix memory, an Antec slk 3700bke with 350 watt P/S.

Thanks,
Between this and moving my SATA to 3 I was able to get the system to 233fsb and it posts at 260 fsb.
It locks up during Memtest86 at 260. I'm not sure if it's PowerSupply or Heat, so next on my list of things to do is a new 500+ watt PS and replacing the AMD heatsink.

Problem booting from CD with K8N Neo plat.

I have just put the system together and it powers on ok and allows access to the bios. The problem I'm having is with booting from CD. I have set the CD as a boot device. When I restart the computer with a bootable CD in(windows XP) I get a screen saying:
Verify DMI pool data...........
BootCD:
It then stays at this screen for anywhere from 5-15 minutes before actually booting the disc.
On my old computer which used a K7T 266 pro2(I think) motherboard when I set it to boot from cd it said press any key to boot from CD. This one doesn't, it just has the above info on screen and then eventually starts to boot after minutes of waiting. This as you can image is pretty annoying. I have tried it with 2 cd drives both on different ide channels and the problem is the same on both. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe the "Strike any key to boot off the CD" message actually comes from XP not the BIOS. If I put a bootable CD into my system which is not XP it just boots off of it with no choice whatsoever.
If you remove all IDE and SATA devices but a single CD/DVD player does it still do the same thing with either of them? Are they both from the same vendor? This sounds more like a device or cable problem than a BIOS problem.

Boot-up Problems with K8N Neo

I've just upgraded my computer with a K8N Neo motherboard, AMD 64 3000+ processor and a nice new Antec case.
I have a few problems so far.
1. 95% of the time, when POST gets to "Verifying DMI Pool Data"...the NVIDIA Boot Agent will kick in, i assume because it can't boot from my hdd. But i can't for the life of me figure out why, the hdd is from my old computer but it's a clean copy of Windows XP on there. I have disabled SATA in bios. The other 5% of the time my computer boots up fine.
2. POST is very slow, it can take up to 5 minutes just to detect the IDE drives.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, i'm not sure if ive included enough information, so please ask if you need more.
Thanks!

hi dave,
can you give us more details about your spec please,
Memory, Hard drives (Manf Model Capacity & Pata(ide) or Sata), optical drives, power supply model & max amps on 3.3,5 & 12v rails please.
this will help us to help you & save unesecary questions.

but it's a clean copy of Windows XP on there
youve just created this on the new mobo?
enter bios -
Cmos setup check that your drives appear as you expect them.
Advanced bios options - Hard disk boot order check that the HD with windows on is at the top of the lisi, use pageup/down keys to move it.

Boot up halts on K8N Neo2 Plat. Help!

Strange thing is happening to me lately. On Windows XP bootup, after the Windows loading progress bar screen has dissapeared, and before the login screen, the screen goes black for about 10-15 mins or so (a long time). If you just leave it, it will eventually boot up into the OS.
This is the strange bit. I have found out that if I take out all of my USB devices while booting up, then the problem dissapears. It isnt the case of finding a 'problem USB device' either, because if one usb device is plugged in, it does not boot up, and halts in the black screen state for ages.
Anyone know what this could be?
Thanks
Dan

Booting From SATA on K8N Neo2 Plat

I've read all the posts I can find. I downloaded the newer nforce drivers. I've tried running from 3/4 instead of 1/2. I've done the install every which way, no floppy driver install, install just bridge driver and install bridge+raid.
Here's the deal. Using just one 74Gig Raptor I want to install XP and boot from it. I get completely through the install but I get a boot error when XP reboots and tries to run from the HD for the first time.
If I install the raid driver I can see and setup the HD in the Raid config app during boot. But, it still gives me the same boot partition error when it hits the drive.
Any ideas?

This may be pertinent or it may not.
I recently spent 2-3 days trying to get 64 bit Windoze to boot on my system after successfully installing XP Pro with no difficulties whatsoever. I think what I did wrong was to install the OS with my IDE drive disabled.
Since I did not partition my SATA drive I found that I had to install x64 on another partition due to shared "Program File" issues with 32-bit and 64-bit apps.
I then discovered that even though I told the BIOS to boot off the SATA drive before the IDE drive that x64 wanted to order the drives differently. It insisted on putting the DOS partition on my IDE drive first, the SATA drive second, and the NTFS partition on my IDE drive third. It then wrote the boot.ini info for x64 onto the DOS partition instead of the SATA.
Long story short I could not get it to see x64 when it rebooted the first time. I tried screwing around with the boot.ini settings until I was blue in the face.
I finally decided to buy Partition Magic and partition the SATA drive. I installed x64 onto it and it once again wrote the boot.ini info to my DOS partition instead of the SATA first partition so I edited the boot.ini record on my SATA drive to point it to the second partition and it worked.
The bottom line is that I think there are some real compatibility issues with x64 in a dual boot environment. MS is also editing the private news group so lessons like this don't see the light of day to scare off the other human guinea pigs who are beta testing their crapware for free. Caveat emptor.

Stable config with k8n neo2 plat.

ok, tried the overclocking forum, but hey, 9 views in 2 hours..
Posting my bios, what I need is a stable system(yes) and safe memory settings at the top level of what they can deliver.. Don't want to do any rushing mistakes since I have RMA-d the sticks once already..The system is stable, but I think it's a bit slow.. If someone would suggest any changes it would be great..Thank's..
(My system is in sig.)

New K8N NEO2 PLAT. and SC-939 3200+ help needed...

Hello,
I have just upgraded my system with K8N Neo2 Plat. and sc-939 3200+ A64 Cpu.
There are several issues I need to resolve which are:
1- Although I change from BIOS the settings for AGP to 4x8x and enable fast writes, I still cant see them turned on from the Catalyst Control Center. Everything is greyed out what can I do? They all used to be on and agp was 8x with my K7N2 Delta board....
2- Although I installed the original drivers from the MSI CD, I couldn't get one of the network prts to install. Realtek installed OK. But other one is defined by the device manager as standart network adapter. What can I do?
3- I am brand new to A64 system so I do not know what setting to use from BIOS can you help me out, for instance there are values for HT such as x3 x4 x5 mine is set to x5? what is this? should I enable cool and quiet, I am not intended to do overclocking. Can you give me some tips for best performance?
My best regards.

Make sure your bios is up to date: version 1.5. Look at the sticky threads and use the information to enable hidden bios features. Disable ATI/NV speedup in the bios. Uninstall your drivers and reinstall. If the information is still greyed out, download the free version of Sandra here: http://downloads.guru3d.com/ and check the module under video system information. This will tell you if fast writes are enabled and your AGP setting. Leave the HT(hyper-transport) set to 5X unless you plan on oc'ing, if you do oc then may find you'll need to reduce it to 4X or 3X. Try downloading the latest driver for your network from the MSI website. Right click the device in device manager and select update, select specific location then "don't look...I'll choose", direct it to the file where you've unpacked the correct driver and then update.

K8N neo2 Plat problem with Inno3D 7600GS AGP, help pls...

Just got the new Inno3d 7600GS AGP card, after installed & while booting up my monitor keep going off and on then suddenly just went off...sometime system freeze when it reach deskstop.
Sometime lucky enough it will still there and the next few minute the system just freeze.
After several attemp & no choice, I unplug the power to the graphic card and the problem still exist.
I am using a HEC 350W PSU.
I change back to my old ati9200se card & no problem at all.
I changed to skyhawk 430W still same problem. even I boot up to safe mode still the same. Only time the monitor wouldn't go off untill it pass the winXP logo then the problem appear.
I got no problem when go to CMOS as well.
Already perform uninstall previous video driver, update latest nforce driver....all no use.
K8N Neo2 Plat
HEC 350W
2 harddisk (1 SATA & 1 IDE)
Any idea guys?
Thanks

What are your PSU amp for the +12V? What bios version are you using right now? Tried to disable the fast write in the Bios? Gd luck.

Occasional Boot up problems, with K8N Neo2 Plat.
