P35 Neo 2 (MS 7345) PCI 1.0 compatible slot use a PCI-E 2.1 Graphics card ?

A simple question I'm intending to upgrade an old Ati (AMD) Radeon x1950 Graphics Card to the latest Radeon HD 5770 for Christmas. The question is whether the Radeon HD 5770 that uses a PCI-Express 2.1 Slot is compatible with the old PCI-Express 1.0 bus found on the P35 Neo 2 version 1.1 motherboard. Theoritcally PCI-E version 2.0 was backwards compatible with the older 1.0 and 1.1 slots, but unsure about the latest version. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You
Sorry should have read 5770 not 4770.

Though there's 2 x 12v rails @ 24A but it does not means that it is 24A x 2 as they come from the same single +12v rail. Usually there rated +12v max combined is only about 60% to 70% which means about 34A for your PSU.
As such, your PSU may be able to handle the new card but you'll only know when the card is installed.

P35 Neo does not boot

Hi,
I have just bought a P35 neo F and a Code 2 Duo E6550 processor.
When I switch the power on, the cpu fan starts and stop and then start again which looks OK for this motherboard - My problem is that the system does not boot after this - I have tried different combinations (with or without memory, with or without hard drive, with or without graphic card, I have tried 2 different graphic cards, 2 different power supply... no result - Could someone help me ?
My config :
MB P35 Neo F
Proc Intel core 2 duo E6550
Power supply Enermax extreme power 500W
Graphic card Asus EN 8600 GTS
Thanks

I've tried a Kingston PC2 6400 CL5 - the system still do not boot up - I can see the keybord blinking at the beginning of the boot process but the screen noes not receive any signal - I get a bip after about 20 sec and another one again after 20 sec.
The processor or the mother board must be faulty...but how to know which ?
MSI P35 Neo2-FIR (bios v1.5)
Intel E2180
Tuniq Tower 120
2 x 1GB Ballistix PC2-8500
XFX GeForce 8600GT
Maxtor 80GB
Seagate 250 GB
Advance 550 watt PSU
I just finished building this rig, and had exactly the same "no boot" issue using Ballistix RAM. The board powered up, then it did the auto shutdown thing which is normal, and then it started up for real, the diagnostic LEDs on the mobo light up, the CPU fan spins, I get a single beep but then just a blank screen, no POST screen, can't enter the BIOS
I tried a minimal build outside the case using just the graphics card, monitor, keyboard, and a single stick of Ballistix RAM in four different slots, re-setting the CMOS at each attempt, But still no POST
I was advised the Ballistix may be the problem as they're rated at 2.2v and the MSI board sets 1.8v until you change the voltages in BIOS, so I ordered 2 sticks Kingston Value RAM 667MHz rated at 1.8v, Inserted a single stick then powered up, but still no POST, Inserted the second stick and the board fired up! I needed both sticks inserted to boot, glad I ordered 2 sticks of Kingston instead of one, I'm keeping them as a backup if the Ballistix fail. Inserted the Ballistix and they're running fine @ 1160 MHz CAS 5: 5: 5: 15: 2T 2.3v

Black screen after P35 NEO-F BIOS Flash to v2.1

Hey Out There
I just upgraded my motherboard P35 Neo-F to bios version 2.1. With the tool from this forum.
After that the PC shows a black screen when booted, I have then tryed to clear the CMOS by removing the battery and switching the jumpers place.
After that i booted, and came up with wrong CMOS. F1 to run setup, F2 to load defaults CMOS settings. I then pressed F2 and booted into Windows.
I then found out that my 3Ghz processor was only running at 2Ghz. I then rebooted to check the bios settings, but it only shows a black screen when it tryes to boot.
I have to clear the CMOS to get into windows...
What could be wrong???
Hope one out there can help me.

Hey.
Sorry for that.. I will then flash my bios back to 1.A..
But since it is that way that P35 Neo-F uses the bios from G33 Neo-F it should go wrong a lot of times. I dont know how many of the P35 Neo-F users that knows that.
MSI should make a discription on the P35 Neo-F site, that tells: PCB rev.x uses bios xxxx and so on.
But thanks for the help.
So far arround 10 users/cases crashed to the same.

Not a lot as 2.xx BIOSes are normally not available for manual download, but only from "Live Update"

Which graphics cards are Mac Pro 1,1 (2006) compatible?

I suspect my graphics card is bad (though I could be wrong). At boot I hear the Apple sound but get no visuals whatsoever. No grey or blue or any other kind of screen. I tried resetting PRAM, holding shift, holding option, nothing works. The computer is stuck at the phase where the graphics card fan is on overdrive and it does not ever stop spinning. The card is an ATI Radeon that came stock with the Mac.
I found this article which shows which cards are compatible.
MY QUESTION: Are these the ONLY graphics cards my Mac Pro will support? Or can I install any PCI-E graphics card?

Is MSI P35 Neo compatible with new USB3 PCI-E adapters?

I've just bought a 1 Tb Samsung USB3 powered external HDD. Currently I only have USB2 ports which can't handle the transfer speed of USB3. Is my MSI P35 Neo mainboard compatible with new USB3 PCI-E adapters, if I were to fit one?
Thanks in advance

If it is an add-on card, it should work if the drivers are properly installed.
However, if you need more information on compatibility results, I suggest that you log a technical support ticket with MSI.

P35 Neo MB and a PCI Express 2.0 Vid Card?

Hey, all:)
First time poster here, so hope this is the right spot for my question.
Here is the new card I want to put into my system. It will replace a MSI 8800 GT 512:
MSI N550GTX-Ti Cyclone OC GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16
My MSI P35 Neo MB says is PCI Express 1.0. Will a PCI Express 2.0 vid card run on a MB that is PCI Express 1.0? I do have a 585W PSU.
I am guessing it may be backwards compatible, but my tech knowledge is pretty low:)
MSI P35 Neo MB, current BIOS 1.60
Intel Core 2 Duo [email protected] GHz
4.0 Gskill PC 6400 RAM
X-585 PSU
XP Home SP3
Thks, all for any help:)

It will be backward compatible, however, I don't think you will benefit much from upgrading to the N550s as you can't utilize the full PCIE 2.0 lanes and speed, whereas the 8800GT are the top of line within their own series and you can make use of its full potential.

Please to help rookie with quad core on P35 Neo 2 (MS-7345)

I bought a home built computer (specs below) for my sons almost a year ago and have had nothing but trouble with it. After I finally realized that the graphics card was over-heating it worked better for a bit after replacing Radeon 9600 with some crappy one. Then I reinstalled XP and seem to have lost drivers for some of the functions of the MB like sound and networking. Presently it is an impressive looking paperweight with fantastic specs.
It does boot to XP and has internet connection now that I stuck in a NIC card.
I was foolish enough to install and run microsoft genuine advantage and, because it didn't pass, have to read about it every boot and login. So I'd like to reinstall XP again.
I do have System info for Windows (SIW) installed.
I bought system so sons could play Call of Duty 4. When I try to launch COD it gives message:
"Error during initialization:
Miles sound system initialization failed.
Make sure you have your sound card's latest drivers and DirectX installed."
I have installed latest DirectX but do not know what to do about sound card as it is function of MB, I think.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as to next steps or what further info I would need to gather to solve.
Thank you!

I dl'd all of the files and began to install from the bottom up. The "Intel INF Drivers for 3/4/5 Chipsets" went fine but in the 'read me' for "Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver" it says that if none of the supported RAID or SCSI controllers are present in the Device Manager/IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers then your computer is not in RAID, SCSI or AHCI modes and these drivers are not applicable. Does that makes sense considering the type of hard drive? Do hard drives have drivers? (apologies if this does not make sense)
Also, the "Realtek PCI-E Ethernet Drivers" only contains dll, system and a security catalog file. I do not know what to do with these to install.

Why no PCI-E overvolt option in P35 NEO-2 FR??

I posed this question once before. I was told that AGP could do it but PCI-E can't. That's just not true. I built two Gigabyte motherboards (P35/965 chipsets) with PCI-E overclocking options. The P35 overvolts up to .3+ while the GA965 board does .1 overvolt
My 8800gt has a Zalman cooler that's like a refridgerator, it can handle more voltage. What if bios 1.8 is undervolting the graphics card just like the processor?
1.4v on the processor is really like 1.365v
This option should be addressed and added on this outstanding motherbaord. I have two NEO-2 FR's

If you go into the bios, you can set the PCI-Express for overclocking via the Dynamic Over-clocking Technology. It's at the top.
It is there, may not be manual option to increase voltage.....
It is there, you have to have basic reading skills though, to find it
If you still stuck where feature is, let me know via this thread and I will post a picture to help you.
Edit
Opps, no The P35 Neo2 FR is mainstream mainboard, which has a certain amount of overclocking ability. (Platinum and Diamond range are performance mainboards)

I need bios compatible with celeron E3200/E3300 for P35 neo-f

I need the bios compatible with Celeron E3200 for P35 neo-f, my motherboard is running the latest version of bios

There are 2 P35 Neo MB's. One w/BIOS 2xx and the other w/BIOS 1xx. G33 Neo also has the same BIOS & CPU support as P35 Neo w/BIOS 1xx. From what I see the one w/BIOS 2xx supports it but the one w/BIOS 1xx does not. Best would be to contact MSI with your question and specify which BIOS your MB has. >> G33 Neo <<
This list also shows the difference: >> P35 Neo <<

Bios Update Problem P35 Neo2 - MS 7345 V 1.1

Hello
I've update my board bios because a "hard disk not present" problem and since it I was having several problems:
I'm running Windows XP SP2 and it takes a very long time to start (in bar and loading windows screen).
The major problem I have is when power on the computer it is alwayls showing the red font message that says it was a problem overclocking, so everytime I need to go into setup and to save changes whitout changing anything.
I suspect the bios I've installed is not the right one since the start screen says "MSI Neo Patinum" instead Neo2, but I've used Live Update ... so it should be the rigth one.
Can anybody help me please with this?

Three important questions:
1. Which BIOS Version were you using before the update.
2. Which Version did you update to?
3. Did you clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU after the Update?
1. I'm not sure what bios version come with the board (my misstake) but it was older than I've now.
2. I'm actually using AMI 1.10 Build Date: 11/10/2008
3. Yes I did

- If you have an IDE/PATA Hard Drive:
.....What kind of cable are you using? (40 or 80 wire)
.....Is there any other drive connected to the IDE cable (how are the jumper settings for each drive (MASTER/SLAVE/CABLE Select)?
I Haven't IDE/PATA Hard Drive
I will tell you the story:
I bought the computer and I was using the Blue (Marvel) sata port for the hard disk.
Then a normal day I began to have a very low Windows start so I changed the sata plug to a purple one and the problem disappeared.
Then I began to have the same problem again so I changed the plug again but problem was there anyway so decide to update bios to 1.8 version.
The problem come back randomly and sometimes it disappeared just changing the sata port to wich the plug is connected to.
After that I began to have the "No hard disk present" error and I cleared the CMOS and tried several things until it come to work again.
Few time ago I noticed that was a newer bios version, so then I used Live Update to update bios and drivers again.
Now I'm having the "slow" problem again. I'have been trying several configurations and testing programs but I just didn't find anything wrong.
Edit:
I'm having the first post problem (overcloking message after power on)
I also had a very rare issue few time ago when shutdown the pc: few minutes later it power on by It self !! until I have disabled every wake up event from setup.
I hope you can understand, and thanks again for your help.

MSI P35 Neo2 (MS-7345) strange BIOS problem

Hi all,
My first post here - just wondering if someone could help me.
I recently 'accidentally' flashing my bios version from 1.8 to 1.C on my MS-7345 (P35 Neo 2) board, after deciding to install live update. While I know it's often considered a bad idea to flash the bios when everything's working, but I did it anyway. Since doing it I got many many BSODs. I'm running XP Pro 32 bit btw. I got these BSODs mostly when the computer was working hard, but not always. I'd barely be able to do anything sometimes. Occasionally Windows would even crash on start-up.
I made sure that i was running the latest drivers for all my components, peripherals, etc, including motherboard and graphics card. I even reformatted my HDD and reinstalled Windows from scratch just in case it was a virus. However, the problem has continued, and I even got a few BSODs during my reinstallation of Windows XP Pro.
Another thing I tried was reverting back to the old bios version (1.8), but this made no difference, so I eventually returned to the latest 1.C.
I've written down all the error message codes somewhere, though I've currently misplaced the sheet I wrote them on. If you need to know the exact codes I can locate it and add it to this thread. I probably got about 30 BSODs per day. Often they were IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL type ones, but definitely not just that. Each code I got I researched thoroughly to see if I could work out the problem. Some pointed to RAM Failure, some to HDD problems, some to bad Graphics card, some to corrupt drivers. Pretty much anything you can think of, the errors 'blamed'. However, I had a hunch regarding the bios / motherboard.
I eventually discovered (by chance) after re-flashing the bios (which I'm doing in DOS using the suggested AFUD after a reboot) that if I...
1. Switch on the computer
2. Enter BIOS Setup by pressing Del
3. Turn of the boot sector protection (in order to flash bios) and set USB stick to be the first boot device
4. Boot to DOS from my USB stick and flash the bios in DOS
5. Reboot
This is the critical bit...
6. When when I get the 'Bad checksum, Press F1 to enter BIOS setup or F2 to use default values' PRESS F2 (it won't work if you go into bios setup as this will then require another reboot before loading windows).
7. Let Windows XP load as normal.
If I follow all the above steps (I discovered this by mistake), the computer is 100% stable. I even tried some burnout tests and played some cpu & gpu intensive games with settings on full to give it a real workout, which previously would have ended up in a BSOD within seconds.
However....
If I then reboot the computer (or shut down and switch it back on the next day) and let windows load, it will be unstable again, just as before!
In other words, I'm currently having to flash the bios every time I switch on my PC or reboot it in order to get a stable system.
So this problem isn't fixed - but I've found a workaround at least for now.
Incidentally I've tried installing a new CR2032 bios battery, since I thought it might be losing settings on reboot, but this didn't make any difference.
I personally don't think it's actually the BIOS Reflashing that's making it work - just something weird in the bios settings. It's as if 'erasing the checksum' (cleaning out these dodgy bios settings), which forces the PC to load the defaults the next time it boots, is helping. I have to just mention that going into bios set-up and choosing 'Load Fail-Safe Defaults' does NOT help, since the computer reboots when you 'Save Settings and Exit'. It's as if the bios settings corrupt every time on boot, which causes the crashes.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

To return to the previous bios, just download the one you want and use the forums tool.

>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Before you do that, try to boot and enter bios. Hit f6 for optimized defaults save and exit see if the problem persists.

P35 Neo Combo, boot problem? [FIXED]

** PROBLEM SOLVED - Tech support told we that if there was any way to update the BIOS to version 1.3 then I should do that. I found a way and after that everything have been running smoothly.
I would like to thank everyone that helped me in here and hope that my experience and the solution might come in handy to someone else. **
**This thread have been updated with more information and an alteration of the story as my experience with the board/BIOS grew larger, and some information was given to me by at kind person in this thread**
Hello everyone.
Some days ago I got some new hardware and put it all together but I ran into a big problem.
Specs of the new machine:
Case: Arctic Cooling T2 Pro, Miditower, 500W
Psu name: AX-500F, specs:
+12v: 14 A (15 A peak)
+12v2: 16 A (19 A peak)
+5v: 25 A
+2.3v: 30 A
-12v: 0.5 A
+5vSB: 2.0 A (3.0 A peak)
This information is a direct quote from Artic Cooling's homepage:
Power Supply
The AX-500F is a power supply optimized for high end PC's and complies with Intel's ATX12V version 2.0. The continuous output power fulfils gaming system requirements based on multiple VGA boards.
The AX-500F was tested with the following configurations:
AMD Athlon FX-62 CPU
2 GB Ram
2x ATI X1950 XTX (Cross Fire)
Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU
2 GB Ram
2x NVIDIA 7950 Gx2
I also did try booting with a more powerful PSU but still no luck, and from what I can see then this one should be powerful enough
Mobo: MSI P35-NEO-Combo-F, Intel P35, Ver. 1.0, BIOS ver. 1.2
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750, BOX
Ram: Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4, 2x1024MB 2.1v
Graphics card: Inno3D GeForce 8800GTS, 320MB, PCI-E
CD-rom: Lite-On DVD/CD
HDD: Western Digital Raptor 74GB
OS: Windows XP 32bit
When I turned it on for the first time nothing happend, no picture no error sounds although I could see and hear that the computer was on. I turned it off and then on again, nothing, I turned it off and then on again and something happend.
I got a red text message saying that my overclocking attempt was unsuccessful, which I found pretty odd cause this was the first time the computer was on. I have now been informed that it's a fail safe build into the BIOS to prevent a melt down if you overclock it too hard, which is kinda smart. I then had the option to go into the BIOS, so I looked at every setting to see if things were OK and if it was somehow overclocked or had some wrong settings.. Everything looked and still looks alright when I save and exit. When I do save and exit, be it with the settings I think is okay, the fail safe or optimized settings then the screen just goes black.
So now for the 'clearing the CMOS' part When I reset the CMOS with the jumper I can get further than the error message about overclocking. I get two options:
1. To enter BIOS setup to configure the bios.
2. To automatically load some default settings and continue booting.
First I tried option 1, after doing a save and exit the screen went black again, got the overclocking message and had to clear the CMOS one more time.
Then I choose option 2, windows started to load, I got into safe mode and windows started to find all the new hardware and so on. When that was done I was kinda forced to reboot, screen went back and yes you guessed it... I had to clear the CMOS and choose options 2. I got as far as getting into windows and installed some of the stuff from the CD-rom's that came with the motherboard, again I was doomed to reboot and clear the CMOS. Once again option 2 needed to be selected to get the system up and running, and I got as far as to the "Want to activate windows" option, and couldn't do that cause the network card was not installed so I had no internet connectivity. Apparently if windows detect too much hardware being replaced then the activation thing pops up, and I later learned that I can't activate my windows anymore cause I used my activation quota and I have to get a new key
What I learned from my brief time in windows normal mode:
Everything seemed to work nicely, and freaking fast too....swiiing!
2gb of ram was detected, running dual channel and at the desired voltage.
The CPU was running at normal speed and voltage.
All in all everything seemed normal until I rebooted.
The only thing I can conclude is that something goes horribly wrong when I clear the CMOS, load some default settings and then reboot. I have seen that I am able to get into the system with my current hardware, but only after a CMOS clear, so what the heck is wrong, what goes wrong after the reboot?
And this is as far as I can get with my own knowledge of computers :(
So now I hope to go that I can get some help from some of you guys, any thoughts on this or anyone know of such a problem and maybe know a solution?
If I missed some information you guys need to solve this puzzle then just ask.
On a side note, if I somehow get the chance to flash my BIOS to version 1.3 in hope that if will solve my problem, then will it erase my chances to send it in for RMA and get a new board? Do I break any rules by doing that?
Best Regards
Mads, Denmark

ok, when you turn it off and on and off and on, the BIOS will think it's an overclocking failure event, and hence display the overclock error message.
usually this is due to the memory settings was set incorrectly (by the BIOS itself). You may need to manually change the memory settings and see if that helps. And, please make sure that your BIOS can support FSB1333 processor like E6750 out of the box. If not, try flashing to the latest BIOS.
Hello and thanks for the quick anwser.
I did check if memory/cpu settings were okay and the seem to be on the right defaut setting. I save and exit and the screen just goes black. I forgot to add the motherboard and BIOS versions but they are there now: Mobo: MSI P35-NEO-Combo-F, Intel P35, Ver. 1.0, BIOS ver. 1.2
I don't see how I will be able to flash the bios when I can't get into windows and do it, and there is no way else for me to do it. If it was the case that the BIOS didn't support FSB1333, then I would never have gotten as far as getting into windows and getting the activation message would I?

P35 Neo + 533mhz DDRII OCZ RAM ?

Hi, I just put together a new system for a friend and I can't even POST, I was wondering if someone could help.
System specs:
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6550
- MSI P35 Neo
- (x2) 1 GB RAM DDRII 533mhz OCZ
- Powercolor ATi Radeon HD3850 256mb PCI-E
- Western Digital WD5000KS SATA HDD
- Samsung SATA DVDRW
- 500W Powecooler PSU
I was going to buy 667mhz ram but the retailer didn't have any more at the time, so I got the 533mhz instead, was this a mistake ? because after I returned with all the parts I noticed there was no mention of 533mhz ram anywhere on the manual or the site, just 667/800. Does anyone know if this memory will work with this motherboard ?
Also I got no peeps, no sounds, no nothing, I get the power lights on the case and the CPU fan spins up, but I don't get any video signal, and I've tried everything including taking the board out of the case with just the CPU plugged and clearing the CMOS jumper. I get no beeps, and I have a speaker connected to the four pins on the motherboard. I suppose the board is faulty, and I'll take it to the retailer on Monday, but I was just wondering, you don't think the 533mhz memory can be causing such weird behavior, right ?
Any ideas, thoughts or comments will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

I tried a stick of 667mhz ddr2 from my system but it didn't POST either
You may be facing more than a memory problem at the moment. According to the CPU Support list you need at least BIOS v1.3 for your E6550. Maybe your board was delivered with an older BIOS revision:

- 500W Powecooler PSU
Please provide more information about your PSU:
- number of +12V rails
- amperage limit on each +12V rail
- amperage limit for all +12V rails (combined rating)
Did you plug in all power connectors?
- 4 Pin +12V CPU (board)
- 24 Pin ATX (board)
- +12V PCIe (video card), usually 6Pin, sometimes 8Pin

P35 neo cold boots twice when powered on or warm booted

Hi, I'm trying to figure out what is happening with this board, when I turn on my computer it automatically shutsdown again for a sec or two and then comes back and boots ok. It does that also in a warm reboot.
I've seen similar issues in other forum threads, but it's unclear the reason, I found opinions saying it's a power supply issue, others a boot check in the chipset does, and also bios related issues. I tried it in every possible way, the only fixed configuration was:
- power cooler 500w psu
- msi p35 neo
- intel e4400 core 2 duo
with combinations of:
- memory
- ocz ddr2 800 system elite (4 sticks 1gb each)
- single ocz 1gb stick
- two sticks
- no memory
- video
- pcie msi nvidia 6200tc
- old trident pci graphics card
- no grachips card at all
- hard disk
- western digital 80gb sata2
- no disk
Also tried all the BIOS settings available to be enabled/disabled, hopelessly lost some more time with bios rev. 1.2, (other tests where with rev 1.0)
The board is stable once it's up and running, but it's the first time I own a computer that has that strange behaviour and I don't know if I should return it or it is normal.
Can someone please help me understand what's going on and point me to a solution?
Thanks,
Sebastian.

what should i do...
First of all: Start your own topic.

.i updated the bios from live update 3 utility
You should not use MSI Live Update to update your BIOS. That is very risky. Next time, use this tool instead:
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
That is in your own best interest, believe me.

P35 Neo-FI memory problem with 4 ram sticks

Hi,
I have a problem to get my 4 ram sticks to work. a1 and a2 works but soon as i put another ram in to motherboard example to b1 or b2 it wont post anything on the screen. I know that my 4 rams works ok and i dont have any problem with them. I have also tryied to turn up the dimm voltage but with out luck. Please help me!
CPU = Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz (bios 1.3)
Motherboard = MSI P35 NEO-FI, P35, Socket-775, DDR2,
Memory= 4 * Corsair Value S. PC5300 DDR2 2048MB, 256Meg x 64, CL5, 667MHz, 240-pin
Grafic card = Gainward GeForce 8400GS 256MB DDR2, PCI-Express, DVI/Tv-Out, SilentFX

I'm not sure if the board can directly support 8GB instantly, which may also explain that it can run 4GB without a hitch.

P35 Neo 2 (MS 7345) PCI 1.0 compatible slot use a PCI-E 2.1 Graphics card ?
