P35 Neo-FI CPU compatability?

Can anyone tell me if the P35 NEO-FI mainboard is compatible with Q9400?

Ah, I see. They have messed up that other list then, skipping the v1.xx-BIOS Releases and/or somebody forgot to update it properly:
http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=1215&maincat_no=1&orderby=cpu_name%20ASC#menu
Yep, there are two types of MS-7360, one of them are using BIOS 1.xx, other one is using BIOS 2.xx.
Model MS-7360 ==> P35 Neo-F/P35 Neo-FI/G33 Neo-F , using BIOS 1.xx
Model MS-7360 ==> P35 Neo-F/P35 Neo-FI/G33 Neo-F , using BIOS 2.xx
At MSI web, as P35 Neo-FI is shown only the second one who use BIOS 2.xx
P35 Neo-FI who use BIOS 1.xx is named at MSI web as G33 Neo:
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=1224&maincat_no=1#menu
1.A0:
P35 Neo-F/P35 Neo-FI/G33 Neo-F (MS-7360) V1.10 BIOS Release
1. This is AMI BIOS release
2. This BIOS fixes the following problem of the previous version:
- Update CPU Micro Code.
- Fixed BIOS report incorrect CPU ratio during POST.

MSI p35 Neo-Fi & PSU compatibility question

Ok I have a new high end computer system that is missing a PSU.
I recently got Coolermaster real power 700w psu which obsiviously wasn't working with the mobo (couldn't boot). Now I'm returning that psu and I have to ask which PSUs are compatible with this MSI p35 Neo-Fi motherboard.
So right now I'm planning to get Corsar 650w TX or Xilence 600W. I don't really want to waste time on returning another PSU so if any of you have any suggestions it would be welcome.

I'm going for that corsair psu then, thanks for replying guys. It has gotten good reviews too so now I'm convinced it's good.
Quote from: Frankenputer on 14-August-08, 07:02:02
The 650TX is an excellent choice. I'm interested in what other components you are going to have in the system.
My specs:

MSI P35 Neo2-FR: CPU vs core temperature

Hi. I've switched to a P35 Neo2-FR from a P35 Neo-F. The Neo2 was so cheap I couldn't resist. The board is fantastic so far. Great features, overclocking and performance for the price. Thumbs up for MSI
I was quite familiarised with the P35 Neo-F and inmediately noticed something weird with the new mobo. It has to do with temperatures. I know that temperature measuring software is making just guesses and that looking at them is a bit of looking into the unknown. This is why I don't care too much about what these programs have to say about temperatures.
BUT the board's SmartFan feature looks at CPU temperature for throttling the CPU fan. Throttled fan = noise, and I do care about the noise, so I care now about reported CPU temperature.
Weird thing is that reported CPU temperature is wrong in the Neo2-FR I think. These are my current temperatures (18º C room temperature):
As you can see, CPU temperature is higher than any of the core's temperatures. The reported core temperatures are as accurate as these things can be, as there is consensus about them among the big dogs in temperature monitoring (SpeedFan, Everest and CoreTemp), and I remember quite well that in my old P35 Neo-F CPU temp was always lower than any of the cores ones. It is my understanding that this is how it should be (ie., cores are always hotter than whatever is reported as CPU temp), and with this board temperatures are always the other way.
I've searched the BB and found very little about this CPU temperature issue on the Neo2-FR, but I'm wondering if this beta update means it is a known issue. It includes, among others, this fix:
Quote
*Adjust CPU temperature(06FB).
BOSSKILLER says that this means it fixes wrong temperature reporting on Q6600 (which is the processor with 0x6FB CPUID), but now RealTemp says that my E6750's CPUID is also 0x6FB:
I don't dare to install a beta version of a BIOS, but does this mean that CPU temp reading is wrong in current BIOS version and that next BIOS version will fix it so CPU fan doesn't kick in noisy mode too early? Anyone with the flawed report processors installed this beta BIOS and can tell how are the new CPU temperature readings?
Thanks and regards

Quote from: darkangel230 on 02-May-08, 01:25:08
That beta bios you're talkin, i've had it "installed" on my board
Only thing it does it report CPU temp 10 degrees cooler than Cores.
That 10 degrees drop on CPU temperature made it into the final 1.9 version of the BIOS. See:
Should I contact MSI about this? Will they care?
Oh dear!

Help for P35 neo -F vcore regulator

Hello to everyone, this is my first post in this forum...
I bought a MSI P35 Neo-F motherboard for a friend of mine. It's a nice and cheap mobo, all run fine but as I tried to overclock the cpu ( a good and cheap E2180) I couldn't modify cpu vcore!!!! Yes, in the right submenu I selected cpu vcore, I chose a value ( for example 1.40) I clicked enter, I saved with F10. All looks like well, but as I run cpu-z under windows I read ALWAYS vcore 1.325!!!!!! ( every values I choose in submneu cpu vcore!!!!)
I tried grey default values and white High values but it is the same thing.
Well, although this, my E2180 run @ 2700Mhz fine, rock solid ( 8 hours of orthos blend test and others 8 hours of orthos small test + twice superPI 32M) but I disappoint because I can't change cpu core as I like. Why?
This is my system
Mobo: MSI P35 Neo-F
Cpu: Intel E2180 @ 2700 strap 1066 Fsb 270 ram divisor 4:5
Cooler: stock Intel

Thanks

Just to make sure: Have you cleared CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU after flashing? If not, please do that. It should be done after every BIOS Flash.
Quote
Good
- I can increase the Vcore.
- Vcore doesn't increase automatically when the FSB is rose.
Quote
Bad
- It still has bad OCing potential with my E4500, i can only get 2.5GHz with default Vcore
(many people have reported d same problem, so please don't say it's because my CPU is bad)
Keep in mind that the P35 Neo is a budget board. It was not really designed for OC use.
That said, I am curious about your current BIOS settings (FSB/Memory Ratio, Memory Timings, Memory Voltage, EIST, Spread Spectrum etc.). All of them may have an impact. Maybe some of these settings could be optimized to OC the system a little more. However, we should not discuss these things here. The Overclockers & Modding Corner is a more suited place for stuff like that.

P35 Neo-fi Problem with ATA/100 HDD

Hi bought a new systems a few days ago and I cant get the harddrive to work properly.
When trying to install either linux or windows no HDD can be found. But my bios detects the drive
right after the biosgraphicscreen.
This is my System:
MB: MSI P35 NEO-FI
CPU: INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q6600 2.4GHZ 8MB
MEM: CORSAIR 2GB DDR2 PC6400 XMS2 XTREME (2X1GB)
GRA: XFX GEFORCE 8800GTS 512MB PCI-E
DVD: SAMSUNG DVD±R/RW/RAM SATA
HDD: WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR SE16 500GB ATA/100 16MB
Any suggestions?
So the problem is that I cant install any OS since the HDD cant be found by OS.
Thanks!

The IDE port belongs to the Marvell Controller. There are no special Marvell drivers available.
sjosidan, which drivers did you try to integrate at the beginning of Windows Setup (F6+Floppy). If you have a P35 Neo - board (MS-7360 PCB v1.0) there is no need to integrate any drivers during setup. In this sense, every driver you try to integrate is the wrong driver.
I know you said, that the problem is the same with Windows XP and Linux. However, let's focus on Windows XP for now when it comes to OS Installation.
Does the XP Install-CD you are using include Service Pack 2?
Which BIOS-Version are you currently using? (It should be displayed on the POST Screen (A7360IMS v1.??))
The Bios version is 1.1.0.
I dont have a sp2 disc Ive read some similar posts on the forum and I think it will work with the sp2 disc.
During my reading on this forum I've come to the conclusion that in order to install a linux system supporting IDE I first have to install Xp sp2 and then flash bios. Before installing a linux dist. Is this correct?
I ordered a new SATA disc yesterday it arrives tomorrow so then I won't have a problem, I'll be using the IDE disc in my server instead.

A CPU compatibility question for the P35 Neo-F

Hello.
I was considering buying a P35 Neo-F to go along with an e5200.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130095
However after going through the comments it seems the e5200 may require a bios flash to work. I found MSI's CPU compatibility list (http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodpage2&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170&cat3_no=2) but it doesn't list a P35 Neo-F. The P35 Neo, while sharing the same picture as the Neo-F, doesn't list the bios versions mentioned in the Newegg comments and on other parts of the internet. Can anyone help me clear up this confusion?

I swapped my 533mhz ram for one test stick of 667mhz and it now has monitor output. It wont accept input from my USB keyboard so I'm using an old PS/2. It gives me the option of switching to post or going to a bios setup menu. They both bring me to the same page (not sure what this is, post?) giving me my bios version (1.7), cpu info, ram info, saying USB Controllers are loaded, and telling me to press F11 for a boot menu. At this point my keyboards become unresponsive, though interestingly if I plug in a USB keyboard it's LEDs will light up.
Assuming this behavior is all normal for an unsupported CPU I could install my Pentium D long enough to flash the bios. There are some major problems with this:
I don't have any spare thermal paste. I can't use my e5200 heatsink with my Pentium D and I'm afraid of having to reseat the heatsink onto the e5200 without new paste.
The Pentium D heatsink either appears to be a BTX design or a Dell proprietary design and wont fit into this motherboard. I have considered simply placing the heatsink ontop the processor just long enough to be able to flash the bios. On one hand it wont be doing anything really intensive and creating alot of heat, but on the other it is notorious for being hot and I don't want to damage it or have it shut down while I'm mid bios update.
If I really need to I could bother my neighbor for some thermal paste, he may very well have some.
I very much appreciate your advice.

MSI P35 Neo & Core2Duo E6550, Windows & CPU-Z finds ONLY 1 core...?

Windows device maneger shows only one core for my system. Is this normal bahaviour?

Note: If one or both of the first two Options is disabled at the moment and you have to enable them, Windows may not boot anymore. You will have to Re-install the OS or try a repair installation. Windows XP is not able to automatically adjust to the changes automatically.
There is a fastest way without bother to repair or reinstall OS..
We can force desired HAL by this way, the method used is very usefull and can be applied even when OS doesn't provide choice for manual HAL update.
(etc: desired HAL is not listed as choice... Windows often becomes rather stupid...):
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC & ACPI Uniprocessor PC use the same kernels, etc: only specify hal is enough:
in boot.ini ---> /hal=halacpi.dll (for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC) and /hal=halaacpi.dll (for ACPI Uniprocessor PC)
NOTE: files should already exist into system32 folder. file version should match with currently version installed. if you got SP2 get files from here:
"C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\sp2.cab", open with winzip and get correct hal which you need:
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC ----> halacpi.dll
ACPI Uniprocessor PC -------> halaacpi.dll
ACPI Multiprocessor PC -------> halmacpi.dll
or use microsoft expand if you don't have winzip:
cmd, go to C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\
type from there:
expand sp2.cab -F:myhal.dll c:\windows\system32
where myhal.dll= your chosen hal (halacpi.dll, halaacpi.dll or halmacpi.dll)
for XP without SP2, same procedure but look for HAL files into "\I386" XP installation folder(and those syntax from there:)
expand HALACPI.DL_ %systemroot%\system32\HALACPI.DLL
or expand HALMACPI.DL_ %systemroot%\system32\HALMACPI.DLL
or expand HALAACPI.DL_ %systemroot%\system32\HALAACPI.DLL
or to force directly to default hal:
booting from recovery console command prompt, or from other location and load NTFS mounter with read&write NTFS support:
navigate to root OS drive and go to OS root directory(%windir%) into system32 folder:
example: (where C is OS root drive, and "windows" is OS root folder)
C:
cd windows\system32
ren hal.dll hal.old
cd "c:\windows\driver cache\i386"
expand sp2.cab -F:myhal.dll c:\windows\system32 /* where myhal.dll should be replaced with one of chosen hal: halacpi.dll, halaacpi.dll or halmacpi.dll */
cd "c:\windows\driver cache\i386"
ren myhal.dll hal.dll /* where myhal.dll should be replaced with one of chosen hal: halacpi.dll, halaacpi.dll or halmacpi.dll */
for ACPI Multiprocessor PC we need to update kernels too, go to c:\windows\system32 and make backup 1st: (under pure DOS, or different OS)
force ACPI Multiprocessor PC:
cd c:\windows\system32
ren ntkrnlpa.exe ntkrnlpa.old
ren ntoskrnl.exe ntoskrnl.old
ren hal.dll hal.old /* backup hal too, gona replace it also */
cd "c:\windows\driver cache\i386"
expand sp2.cab -F:halmacpi.dll c:\windows\system32
expand sp2.cab -F:ntkrpamp.exe c:\windows\system32
expand sp2.cab -F:ntkrnlmp.exe c:\windows\system32
cd c:\windows\system32
ren halmacpi.dll hal.dll
ren ntkrpamp.exe ntkrnlpa.exe
ren ntkrnlmp.exe ntoskrnl.exe
reboot PC you have done, no modification into boot.ini is required. at XP startup will detect new hal installed and will be asked for reboot. you have switched to ACPI Multiprocessor PC.
You can review default HAL files and restore it if you don't have backup(if you skip or forgot to make backup) from looking here: \Windows\Repair\Setup.log search for "HAL" inside will find original file name locations.
also HAL query can be obtained from this registry key: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\ACPI_HAL\0000\HardwareID
The thing that need to take attention is that:
Make sure that HAL along with both kernels will be from same SP, etc: if you currently use SP2 dig for HAL file & kernels in:
C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\sp2.cab
respective if you are using SP3:
C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\sp3.cab
If no there is no SP installed look for them in I386 folder in XP installation disk.
Takes less than 2 minutes, and switch to desired HAL without troubles.

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.

MSI P35 Neo-F (MS-7360): Computer randomly freezes while playing games

Hi there,
I have reached the end of my technical knowledge right now and I'm not even sure if this area of the forum is appropriate. The problem:
While playing higher-end games like Crysis 2, Anno 1404, Mass Effect 2 etc. my computer randomly freezes and the last few milliseconds of sound are being looped on my speakers (kind of like a buzzing sound).
By "freezing" I mean that my computer becomes unresponsive to any action other than pressing the Reset-Button or holding down the Power-Up-Button (no reaction to Ctrl+Alt+Del, Alt+F4, Alt+Tab, no mouse movement... you get it).
There's no exact timing as to when these freezes occur. The fastest freeze happened after less than a minute of playing a game, slowes one (just today after switching to my newer case with better cooling) took about 2 hours.
This freeze only occurs while my System is under load. No freezes while browsing the web, using office programs, listening to music or watching videos.
System Specs:
Mainboard: MSI P35 Neo-F (MSI-7360)
CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 @2.4GHz
RAM: 4x 1GB DDR2-800 Corsair XMS2
Graphics: Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti, 1GB GDDR5 VRAM
PSU: Antec High Current Gamer 620W (upgraded from Xilence XP600, 600W)
New CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 13 Pro (upgraded from OEM Intel Boxed Cooler)
New Case: Zalman Z9 Plus w/ 4x 120 mm Fans (Upgraded from a Case with only 1x 250mm side Fan)
2 Western Digital HDD (1x 2TB, 1x320 GB)
1 DVD Reader/Burner (unimportant for that error I guess)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
2 Screens: 1x 24" Asus VS248H and 1x 21" LG Flatron Wide W2240T
Since this error is bugging me for quite a while now and since this is not the first forum I'm trying to get help from, here's a list of steps i already took to get rid of it, obviously to no good use:
reinstalled games where the freeze occurred
updated all Drivers (including cleaning old versions in safe mode; also tried older drivers)
updated BIOS to v1.A0
Reinstalled Windows
bought new Case and CPU Cooler to improve Air Flow/Cooling
checked Seating of all components (took out, cleaned, reapplied thermal grease where neccessary, re-inserted)
cleaned old case of dust (obviously no problem in the new case, which is 2 days "old")
ran 7 sequences of Memtes86+ without any errors
ran Prime95 without any errors for about 45 Minutes
ran Furmark for 15 Minutes under full load (burn-in test) without any problems, even though my graphics card hit the 100°C frequency-cut level
ran Furmark and Prime95 simultaneously without any problems
took records of component temperatures and system voltages without noticing anything unusual (at least not after i switched to the newer PSU, which is about 1 Month old - yet didn't resolve the problem)
tested with cyclic removal of 1 RAM device to further rule out RAM malfunction
tested with only 2 RAM devices in dual channel mode (Slots 1 and 3)
tried to reduce RAM clock (800 MHz --> 667 MHz) to no avail
checked S.M.A.R.T. values of HDDs, no issues reported
tested without any background programs
raised/lowered voltages to RAM, CPU and Chipset in BIOS to increase logic circuit stability/decrease heat production
I need to mention: After I transferred my system to the new case, i was able to play longer than average compared to my old case. So I am guessing that improper cooling was part of the problem, yet improving cooling obviously didn't resolve it.
Since these freezes are really annoying and nobody could help me resolve this so far, I'm hoping to find some new ways of narrowing down the problem or even getting rid of it here.
Regards
Sebb

Lets be realistic. A system with a 560TI is recommended to have a around 31Amps under full load, a CX500 would be sufficient.
Have you monitored your CPU and memory utilisation ?
As suggested before, test the GPU in another computer to see if the behaviour is the same.
Whew, I thought for a second there that my common sense had left me when I saw that 60-Amp-Post ^^
Yes, I monitored CPU and RAM usage, there is no recognizeable pattern to be seen and it almost never happens under full load.
I will see if a friend of mine can test my GPU on his computer, and I will test it underclocked right away.
Though one more question regarding that: Should I only underclock GPU Core Clock or both Core and RAM clock?

VCORE PROBLEMS WITH MSI P35 NEO F

To see if I can help or at least explain what's happening, buy a MSI P35 NEO F for using a quad, the topic is as follows handling vcore is rare
First thing I can not put less voltage that the cpu brings default, second what happens next if bios setting 1.3250 vcore for Quad, once in both windows everest, cpuz, like others programs tell me that this placed on 1.40 vcore which is excessive for the speed at which the quad, this is so in this mobo? Their story that was installed version 1.20 bios which handled vcore%, the upgrade to version 1.40 and is now handled in decimals (numbers) vcore, but still the problem
You pull more vcore which setting in bios and if you want to download the vcore eg put 1.26 vcore not let you because it takes the vcore default of cpu minimum.
i'm not crashing or problems with the temperatures, but nobody likes to have more vcore's necessary.
Wonder because being rookie of this mobo, maybe there's some bios version that fixes this bug or someone knows something else, thank you guys

You can slap 1.6v in that CPU and temps won't rise that much.
Core 2 Duo/Quad operates @ 1.250-1.425, anywhere in between those values is perfectly stable for Intel stock cooler and frequency.
Absolutely nothing to worry about. But if you want to complain about >1c I really can't see the sense in that.

NEED HELP w/ P35 Neo Combo and Windows XP Install Stop 0x24 error BSOD

First a little background, in case it's relevant:
I was running a 865PE Neo2 with 4 x 1gig Corsair DDR2 6400. Otherwise, same specs as below. Ran it for 2 years without a hitch, then got a virus that corrupted my profile and had trouble booting, logging on, and persistent virus messages. Long story short, I fried the BIOS and decided to replace the mobo and upgrade the memory, keeping the rest of the system intact. I previously had windows installed on both partitions of the HDD but changed the name of the directory for Windows on the C: drive so it would boot from the D: drive.
I have replaced 865PE with the P35 and changed the boot sequence to boot from CD. The BIOS loads fine, and I get to the windows setup screen ok. Whether I opt for Recovery Console, or a new install of Windows, I get a BSOD error message below.
STOP: 0x00000024 (0x001902FA, 0xf7906700, 0xf7906400, 0xf7103bef)

I tried with both new and old memory (in the right slots) and get the same message. I booting with no memory because I read in another post that the system should beep to indicate no memory and there was no beep.
BIOS recognizes the HDD, CPU and Memory so not sure what the problem is. Should I try taking the HDD out and reformatting it on another PC? (not easy since I don't have another desktop pc) Please help with some suggestions. Thank you.

hi, i have a problem with my motherboard msi, Bios 1.2 and the dual core center 2.0.0.8 ,since days ago, the msi dual core center 2.0.0.8 so many times shows fan speeds alerts false alarms from the cpe temp, for that reason, i upgraded the appl to 2.0.1.6 ( the last),i set the oc level to 25% like with the older version, but time later the pc crash and put a black crash screen and it dont let me to overclock my cpu , i get back to 2.0.0.8 but the fan alarm dont stop, and i dont know if the newer version fix this problem
any help?
sys specs
msi p35 neo bios 1.2
core 2 quad q6600
2 gb value ram
psu duck

right, but i like to use msi dual core center, because i dont like to have the pc overclocked all the time, anyother suggestion for this?
thanks for the reply

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 - XP Pro install fatal error

Hello
I have partially duplicated my post since the problem is different from the original thread.
But first....
MOBO - P35 Neo - MS-7360
CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
BIOS - V1.5
MEM - 4 x 1Gb 800Mhz DDR2
HDD - 1 x 250 Gb Maxtor SATA II (I have 2 but only connecting 1 for install.)
VGA - NVidia 8600 GT
PSU - WinPower ATX 600L - 600W max
Optical - Emprex 8x CD/DVDRW
The motherboard package and RAM was bought from Novatech and was tested before I installed it. Full specs can be seen here
http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?MBB-P35675,
and I got them to double up on the RAM.
HDD was also from them.
The problem arises after the first phase of the XP PRO install. I have been using a new copy of XP PRO with SP2 to do the install and initailly things go as expected. I format and partition the drive to create a 50Gb drive for the XP install, which happens without incident, then the machine reboots. Following reboot, the Windows XP branded part of the installation begins, with the 'Collecting information', 'Dynamic Update' and the 'Preparing installation' boxes already checked. Below these, it says that 'Setup will complete in approximately :39 minutes'. About 30 secs into this process, a message box comes up with the following;
Fatal Error
An error has been encountered that prevents setup from continuing.
One of the components that Windows needs to continue setup could not be installed.
Incorrect function.
Clicking on the OK box takes you to the logfile, which reads;
Error:
Installation Failed: D:\I386\asms. Error Message : Incorrect function.
Fatal Error:
One of the components that Windows needs to continue setup could not be installed.
Incorrect function.
Pressing OK after this reboots the machine and we go round again.
Things that I have tried to fix this:
1. Removed RAM, tried it with 2 and 1 DIMMs
2. Changed the optical drive.
3. Burned another copy of XP with SP2 at slower speed to ensure it wasn't the CD.
4. Used another HDD with same specs.
5. Scoured these forums and the net to find an answer, but nothing clear cut has arisen. Or have I missed it?
There have been a few threads which mention putting extra drivers into the XP PRO SP2 .iso, but since I am using 1 drive on SATA1 as well as an XP PRO with SP2 disk, this does not appear to be required. I have used the standard settings in the BIOS. Can anyone shine some light on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks for reading!

Sounds like it may be a optical drive or a bad ISO. Seems like people are having issues using Nero and recommend using PowerISO. edit: I noticed you you are using an OEM CD so more than likely either a scratched CD, a bad drive or cable.
