P35 Neo2 FIR does not boot at all

Pretty similar to another topic, however my problem is with MSI p35 Neo2 FIR...
Mobo doesnt start - it stops on the welcome screen, where it says to hit "del" to enter bios setup. Hiting keyboard keys doesnt do anything (yes, keyboard is fully operational a proprely connected:), and the mobo stops. The first time I ran the system i went a little bit farther - i've seen the bios version (1.8) and a proper CPU recognition (C2D 8400) - than mobo stopped as well... Now each time i try ro stary the system it sops on teh welcome screen...
My config is (all hardware is brand new, nothing has been overclocked):
- mentioned mobo
- Corsair CMPSU-620HXEU
- 2 x ADATA VITESTA 2x2GB Extreme Edition DDR2 800+MHz CL4 (4-4-4-12)
- Gigabyte GTX 260
- C2D 8400 45nm
Tested with another graphics (Radeon 1950 Pro) another RAM modules and a diffrent PSU - still nothing...
Any ideas how to solve the problem?

If I am not mistaken the new E8400 E0's require the 1.9 BIOS. If the S-Spec # on the box and on the front of the chip is SLB9J, then you do, which is mixed news. The E0's are great overclockers; however, you'll need to flash that BIOS.
Here's a thread about that problem, if, indeed, you have an E0:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=119827.0
If you have a USB thumbrive, you can flash it with this:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108079.0
Instructions:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=116721.0
Otherwise, you'll have to do the floppy method. You'll need a different chip to place in there to get to that stage.
Other options:
#1) Try to get a BIOS replacement ship from MSI.
#2) Return the board and find something that will work with that chip, if it is an E0.
If it isn't an E0, then my intuition is incorrect.

P35 Neo2-FR does not boot, can't enter BIOS

Hi everyone,
just built a new system with
- P35 Neo2-FR (Rev 1.2, Bios v1.8)
- E8400 (C0)
- Aeneon AET760UD00-25D
- HiS Radeon HD4550 (tried a MSI NX7300 as well)
an, even after reading every thread on the subject on this forum at least 10 times,
following all recommendations, I still can't get it to boot up, it just hangs on the splash screen
I have four bricks of Aeneon memory, and tried all of them in slot 1, with one of them I encounter
a constant reboot, with the others the "hang" situation.
The lights always show as R-G-R-G which, according to the manual, indicates "testing memory",
but I can hardly believe ALL of these RAM modules, which are listed as compatibility "OK", are bad ???
Any suggestions ?
TIA !

Thanks for that, it didn't change a thing, however, whenever I reboot -> "CMOS Checksum bad".
F2 does the trick, but it basically means I can't modify any BIOS settings ???
CPU-Z reports it is a E8400-E0, and not a -C0 as I have been told, I didn't check before installing it,
I trusted the dealer :-X
"CPU-Z reports it is a E8400-E0, and not a -C0 as I have been told, I didn't check before installing it,

I told you to double check it: {If its E0 the same hang will happend}

Double check both too.

Re-flash the same BIOS, but this time >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< to fix it.

P35 NEO2 FIR failed to boot – massage about overclocking is failed

My Hardware:
- P35 NEO2 FIR
- A-Data DIMM 4096MB DDR II 800MHz Extreme Edition AD2800E002G (2x2GB)
- Intel Core2 Duo E8400 3,00GHz, 6MB Cache, 1333MHz, 775pin
- Western Digital Raptor WD360ADFD - 36GB SATA @ SATA-1
- Fortron Blue Storm 500W (PSU)
- Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 3870, 512 GDDR – no oc
- Bios version: 1.8
- Windows XP Professional SP3
I have problem with booting PC. When I turn on PC, it twice reboot a then it appears message:
„Warning!!! The previous performance of overclocking is failed, and the system is restored to the defaults setting, Press any key exlucde DEL to enter SETUP…“
I have read this forum and found some topics with this same problem. There is often recommended set clocking values of DRAM. I have set DRAM Timing by SPD do disable and set clock for following values:
4-4-4-12 (Auto V) – recommanded by manufacturer (A-Data)
4-4-4-12 (1.9V)
5-5-5-15 (Auto V)
5-5-5-15 (1,85)
5-5-5-15 (2,1V)
5-5-5-18 (Auto V)
5-5-5-18 (1.8V)
5-5-5-18 (1,9V)
This attempts was failed. When I turn off Pc and wait about 20 minutes - PC again twice reboot and then it appears massage about overclocking is failed.
I have tried to Load Optimized Defaults as well as Load Fail Safe Defaults, but the situations is the same.
I have tried to flash bios to the latest version 1.9, but the situations was worse – when turn on Pc, it reboot about 7 – 15 times and then appears again massage about overclocking is failed. So, I downgrade to version 1.8.
Could you give me pls somebody some sugesstions?

Ok, I will do a test and give here results.
Maybe I find a solution of my problem. During testing PC I found out following: when I turn off switch on PSU immediately as soon as Windows shutdown PC (I do it always), so at next time booting, PC twice reboot and then it appears massage about overclocking is failed. But when I wait about 10 seconds after Windows shutdown PC and then turn off switch on PSU, at next time booting, PC once reboot (normal state) and everything is OK.

HELP: MacBook Pro does not boot at all

MacBook Pro 15" 2.5GHz 4GB RAM Serial No. W8******YK0
Snow Leopard (with all updates)
Yesterday when leaving my office I just closed the cover on my MacBook. When I later opened it again the front white lite was steadyly on (dim) and the computer did not react to anything.
I tried the following:
Long-pressed the power button to turn it off, after 10 sec. turned it on again. Disk makes a faint noise but no more life signs. Screen stays black.
Tried to boot from original system disk (the grey disk I). Disk spins at high rev as expected when trying to boot but then goes to a slow speed and stays like that forever. Have to shut down by hiolding down power key until power off.
Removed power cable and battery, held power switch down for 10 sec. to reset SMC. No effect.
Removed both RAM banks. Tried to boot without RAM. No effect.
Tried swapping RAM banks. No effect.
Booted with single RAM bank. No effect.
Are there any steps I could take to get it back to life? I need the computer urgently for work (have to give two presentations the coming week which I wanted to work on this weekend). I have had time machine connected and I have a full backup of the hard disk from about a month ago.
Any help sincerely appreciated!

Hi, Now, I am not sure if i can help you, but at least i am "glad" too see that i am not the only one with this problem. The same problem i have/had in December, so i took my Mac Book Pro after trying the same as you did to the Service, only to hear from them that i must buy a new LogicBoard, ok, i did this & it was then replaced, but after picking it up from Service 1 Month later, it was working, but only for 2 Hours, so i went back to the service again complaning about this problem, & all that i heard again from them was..." Your LogicBoard is not working, you must buy a New LogicBoard"... This i cannot not understand or accept after spending so much money for repairs, (2 Times in such a short period) After speaking with Apple, i was only told that this is not normal, & that i must go again to the Service where i was before & speak with them about it.

P35 Neo2-FIR boot problem (GRRR - no video)

Hi.
A have a problem with my Neo2-FIR. But first my system's specs:
MSI P35 Neo2-FIR (PCB 1.2, BIOS 1.9 or 1.A - the first one supporting my CPU. I don't remember and there's no video, so I can't check it)
Intel E8400 E0 stepping (SLB9J) cooled by Thermalright Ultima-90.
2x2GB DDR2 A-Data 800MHz 4-4-4-12 2T
PowerColor HD4850 PCS+ (512 MB)
Enermax Pro82+ 385 W (Click for more)
WD AACS 640 GB (irrelevant)
It has been working well since fall 2008. Suddenly, I turn on the PC to see "No input signal" on my monitor..
Diagnostic LEDs report GRRR (from top to bottom), which translates into "Initializing video interface. This will start detecting CPU clock , checking type of video onboard. Then detect and initialize the video adapter". No signals form the speaker.
The full sequence after an restart is GRRR (for a split second) -> RRGR (Mem. detection test) -> RRGG (Decompressing BIOS image to RAM) -> RGGR (Processor initialization) -> GRRR.
After hardware changes (like different RAM configuration - in this case detecting RAM), it can freeze on some other stage. But an restart helps, and clearing CMOS before start up prevents this. Normally it's the above sequence.
What I've tried:
- Tested all the voltages with an Voltmeter. They're fine. The PSU was always rock solid.
- Detached everything that's not crucial (HDD, DVD, fans etc)
- Checked all the connectors.
- Cleared the CMOS (with the button, by removing the battery etc.). It worked, because the dual boot issue was reintroduced.
- Booting with the video card in the second (yellow) PCI-e slot.
- Booting with an old, PCI videocard. (Same symptoms as with the new one). I've also tried booting without and video card - it was the same, but there was an beep from the speaker.
- Booting with one RAM stick, in various configurations.
- Reseating the CPU (it looks fine, so does the socket BTW).
- Reseating the motherboard in the case (to make sure there are no shorts). No shorts on Ultima's backplate.
- probably some other stuff that I don't remember
- (edit) various FSB jumper configurations.
Of course the video card was checked on an different PC and it works fine. I can't check the CPU, but it's rather unlikely that it is its fault.
What I haven't tried is an blind BIOS update. A bit risky. Is it worth trying?
Any ideas? I probably have to RMA the board, but maybe someone knows the answer or had an similar problem.
I've also had some problems with CRC errors with the HDD. Windows reported problems with writing on it (don't remember the error codes). It was moths ago and replacing the SATA connector and changing the port helped.
There were some (rare!) BSoDs, mostly caused by Realtek drivers. RAM was tested with Memtest86+, it was fine. Anyway nothing special and most probably nothing related to the current problem.
Regards,
Dr.

Hi,
Thanks for your help.
They've actually sent me the P35 Platinum Combo mainboard. It the same as normal Platinum, but supports both DDR 2 and DDR3. I don't mind really, though I also don't need it It does have a slightly different PCB and a different BIOS (at least it has it's own number, everything else looks the same).
I have a problem though with the BIOS. It's impossible to set the proper CPU voltage. On Neo2-FIR the minimal voltage was equal to CPU VID (1.1 V). There were some problems with EIST (when it was enabled, the minimal voltage was higher - 1.25 V I think. I've just disabled it).
On this mainboard, with exactly the same CPU, I'm unable to set the voltage below 1.25 V and the CPU overheats It works, but gets really hot. EIST was disabled on default. Rather annoying, this is supposed to be a quite build, which won't be possible with an overvolted CPU
The BIOS is the newest version, but I'll double check.
I'll probably create a topic about this issue after some more research and testing (when I'll find time for it ). Though I'm afraid it's a bug that cannot be resolved. Apart from that everything looks fine.

P35 NEO2 FIR boot problems

Hi,
I'm another unlucky MSI P35 NEO2 FIR user whose mainboard does not boot. My config is as follows -
mainboard: MSI P35 NEO2 FIR
cpu: E6750
ram: OCZ Platinum Rev.2 800 2x1G
gfx card: MSI 8600GT
psu: Corsair VXEU450W
In the beginning it worked flawlessly for about 4 months. Then the boot problems started to appear. After turning on, the mainboard status leds configuration was red-red-green-red, the system kept rebooting and I had to wait several minutes before successful boot occured. (The whole procedure involved additional amount of hassle for me because I had to open the case and disconnect the harddisk during the "warm-up" time.) Gradually the time before successful boot increased. At one time I was not able to boot for several hours. Then I changed FSB jumpers configuration, moved memory to different slots, reseted BIOS and I don't even remember what I tried before eventually miraculously booting the system. After this accident I had to wait 0.5-1.5h for successful boot. In the meantime I upgraded BIOS to v1.8. Nothing changed. This lasted few weeks, and now the big problem reoccured. Initially, the behaviour after turning on slightly changed. Instead of red-red-green-red leds, I got 4 reds. The big additional disadvantage of this was that the system was not rebooting automatically after a few seconds. I had to manually turn it off then turn on again and repeat it until I got red-red-green-red leds, after which automatic reboots started. It's been getting worse and worse since then and now the situation is that I haven't been able to boot the system for a few days. Each of those days I tried for several hours without success (still trying while writing this post).
The one thing I haven't tried is using the 667 memory, I read that it might help. But even if 667 memory will help, does it solve the problem once and for all, or it's possible that the problem will reoccur later (note that my mainboard worked fine for 4 months)?
Also, do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks for help.

Try to boot your system with only one stick of RAM installed in Slot 1 (test both stick seperately).
Tried this today, though not too long (<20 manual reboots).
Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 14-March-08, 04:44:40
Also, clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU before next start-up attempt.
I did something similar today - I removed the battery completely (and rebooted without a battery since then).
Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 14-March-08, 04:44:40
Your current RAM modules could be faulty. Do you have different modules to try (different brand/model, if possible)?
I believe RAM is ok, because when my system worked I ran Orthos a few times for several hours in "blend" mode and no errors occured. Unfortunately I can't easily get 800 or 667 modules.
I'll try again tomorrow, enough for today.

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

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

Does P35 Neo2 FIR have Wake-On-Lan support?

I just got a P35 Neo2 FIR but I can't seem to wake it up from the LAN. Does it have WOL-support?

I can't seem to find any settings in the bios which indicates wake up on the LAN interface. There are settings for keyboard, mouse etc. but none for LAN. Which menu is it listed in?

P35 NEO2-FIR Controler problems

Specs new pc:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.00 GHz, 1333 MHz, 6 MB
MSI P35 NEO2-FIR (stock bios, not at home so I can't check which bios version it currently has)
Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 512MB, PCI-e 16x
Corsair TWIN2x4096-6400C4DHX PC6400, 800 MHz, cas 4, Kit of 2
Antec Earthwatts 500 Watt, 80 Plus Rating
Samsung SpinPoint F1 1TB, 720 Rpm, 32 MB Cache, S-ATA II/300
Lite-On DVD-RW LH-20A1S S-ATA
Everything on STOCK speeds. (no overclocking)
While building the pc I inserted my DVD-player from my previous pc (IDE interface) and connected it properly to the pc. (jumper on master and connected to the master connector on the IDE cable)
It gave me an error during windows installation that the disk would be corrupted or something similar while the disk was in the IDE drive. Then I placed the Windows disk into the S-ATA Lite-On drive and then it didn't have any problem and continued installation of windows. After installation I noticed windows didn't recognize the IDE player. I checked the bios and it wouldn't show up there either.
Then I inserted two of my IDE harddrives (320GB Maxtor and 120GB Maxtor) and they wouldn't show up on the bios or in windows either.
This all happened 1 week ago.
Today I booted my pc to find out it didn't have any internet/network connection so I thought my housemates did something with the router but soon I found out my pc was the problem. Reinstalled windows to check if it was a driver issue. Nothing helped so now my IDE controller and LAN controller both seem to be broken.
Would this be possible because of an unstable bios version or is my motherboard dying slowly?
Thanks in advance for reactions.

I highly doubt another IDE drive would work, it's worth a shot though. Might try it tonight when I get home.
About the LAN driver: I installed Windows XP Pro twice, installed all drivers and the hardware manager wasn't showing any unknown hardware. So I guess it's safe to say it wasn't a driver issue since it just stopped working after a week and I didn't change the software or hardware setup in any way.

Q9400 on P35 Neo2-FIR: how to flash the BIOS to 1.9?

Hi,
I recently purchased the parts for a new system. The specs are as follows:
Corsair 550W PSU
P35 Neo2-FIR Mobo
Q9400 CPU
2x2GB Corsair PC6400 CL5 DDR2 RAM
ATI HD 3450 Graphics card
I put it all together, only it won't work. I get a red message saying the overclocking settings caused an error and a standard BIOS config had been loaded, then I'm asked if I want to save the current BIOS settings. Regardless whether I enter Y or N, I get a "4096MB OK" message, and then nothing happens. Rebooting just gives me the MSI post screen, but it doesn't go beyond that and hitting DEL to enter the setup doesn't work either.
Now my guess is that the reason this doesn't work is because my CPU isn't supported by BIOS 1.8, which is the one that came with the motherboard. It is supported by 1.9, however. But how do I flash my BIOS to 1.9 if I can't even get past the POST screen?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Quote from: AaronYuri on 31-August-08, 05:01:15
Correct. That's why I said to not flash the BIOS.
Have you tried a barebone configuration?
I've tried with just the CPU, graphics card, one harddrive and one stick of RAM, and here's what happens:
It tries to boot up a first time, the four small status leds on the mobo light up red and power cuts off.
Then it boots up again and it seems to be getting farther as the leds flash red and green in different patterns. I even get the MSI logo on the screen for a fraction of a second. Only it seems to be stuck in a loop: the screen disappears again, the leds flash the patterns all over, the logo flickers back on and off, and so on...
The only way to stop the loop is to hit DEL, after which I get the boot screen saying Genuine Intel etc, 2048MB OK and that's where it freezes. At this stage, the LEDs are stuck on the following pattern, top to bottom: green red green red, which according to my manual means "Testing Base and Extended Memory".
So I thought something might be wrong with the RAM and I tried to switch to the other stick, but that didn't help, same problem.
Any ideas?

New system does not boot properly

I just set up a new system with:
a MS-6728 Neo2 FIS2R Mobo,
1gb Geil PC-3500 RAM (2x512),
2.6C proc.
2 Maxtor 120gb IDE drives RAID 0 with the onboard promise controller.
Lite-On DVD burner
ATI radeon 9800 video card
Enermax 300 watt power supply with:
3.3v - 28amp
5v - 30amp
12v 22amp
170watt total 3.3/5 combined
My problem is that my system NEVER boots up normally. It always freezes in the bios startup. The D-bracket stops at almost every possible combination of led's, which according to the manual the problems were: Testing RTC, Initialize Video interface, Testing memory, Initializing floppy controller, Memory detection, Decompressing bios to ram, possibly more. Sometimes I also just get beeping, either a continuous beep or 8 beeps. A few times it would display the bios startup screen, but halfway down would be gibberish characters and would be locked up. When I then turn the computer off then on again, the bios is reset at least somewhat(i know because I usually disable the full screen image on startup) and says memory timings are too tight, and I have the choice to enter bios or hit any key to automatically fix things. If I hit any key it will boot up ok. However when I restart/turn off the computer, the next time it again does not boot. I tried upping the ram voltages from 2.5-2.9v, and that seems to stay that way in the bios, even when it resets itself. Everything else is set to auto/slow. If I try to manually adjust the memory timings, even to the slowest possible settings, it does not boot, and I must turn it on/off a few times till the bios resets again, with the boot process stopping at one of the possiblilitys mentioned above. Using the info tab on speedfan, I got the memory info, and it displayed the voltage at 2.5v, not sure what that means but it is strange.
What I have already attempted:
I sent back the ram and got a new set, which hasn't changed anything. The first time the other ram failed memtest, this time it passed(for about 2 hrs). So I don't think its the ram.
I borrowed an antec truepower 430w powersupply, which had no effect.
I went back to bios version 1.3 from 1.9, which also seems to have no effect.
I was hoping to overclock the system a bit and enable performance mode etc etc, but now I'll be happy to just not have to go through a song and dance everytime I restart the computer. This is only the second computer I have built from scratch, and the first with raid, but that seemed to all go ok. Please help me diagnose the problem!

I too am having problems with my system.
865PE Neo2-FIS2R
2 Maxtor 120GB S-ATA drives, RAID 0, Promise
2 512MB Geil Ultra CL2-3-3-6
HP CD-RW
What IDE settings are you using?
E.g...Native? P-ATA Only...all of those settings
For me...sometimes XP will install and boot...but eventually system is unstable and XP crashes and corrupts itself...Event Manager errors different each time
Someone mentioned problems with Maxtor and AMI BIOS...anything I should keep in mind?
Sorry about all the different questions. I'm sure exactly where my problem lies. MSI thinks it may be my memory AND/OR on-board IDE controller since I can't get the on-board Intel RAID setup to consistently "see" and setup my RAID drives...even when it has worked...XP doesn't like the Intel configured RAID drives. Also tried just one S-ATA drive through on-board Intel and Promise. Next I will try a plain old IDE Hard Drive...no S-ATA...and make sure my memory passes memtest86+ testing.
Any other gems you can offer for this config??? Thanks.

MSI P35 NEO2-FIR, Traces of fire...

Hello,
During dust cleanup of my PC. I noticed a burned part of my MSI P35 Neo2-FIR mobo, i wonder if it is still save to use now, maybe someone have any idea what does that 'chip?' is responsible for ?
Photos:

It looks like it's a resistor in the +5V power circuit to JUSB1. Must have been something plugged into it at one time or another that short circuited/overloaded it it and fried the resistor. What was plugged into the JUSB1 header? If all else is OK if you need to use any front panel USB device you can use JUSB2 or 3 instead. Get a volt meter and check the PSU for correct voltage of +5V to see if PSU is still OK as whatever caused that damage may have also damaged PSU.

P35 NEO2 FIR compatible with Zalman CNPS7700?

Can I install Zalman CNPS7700 Cu on P35 NEO2 FIR With E6750?
Thanks in advance.

I am not sure if it will fit. In any case, as far as I know the CNPS77000 Cu only has a 3-Pin FAN-Connector. The problem here is that the P35 Neo2-FIR (and all recent MSI Boards) have a 4-Pin CPU Fan Header. If you want to take advantage of the automatic CPU FAN regulation feature of the board, you need a CPU Cooler that has a 4-Pin FAN Connector.
Users have reported that the following CPU Coolers should fit for sure:

I am not sure if there is a 4-Pin FAN connector in each case.

MSI P35 NEO2 FIR voltage problems!!

Let's start:
I have MSI P35 NEO2 FIR ,e5200,2 x Geil ultra plus 1066+,as us 2900CT,lcpower 6550g and...rest- not so important for my questions.
1.My problem is next: default voltage values for my RAM is ~2.2-2.4 every time I check in windows (speedfun,sisoft Sandra, everest..)shows me 2.0 or some time even 1.8v . When i change voltage in bios and went to win voltage on RAM is still unchanged (2.0v) .
Same thing happen with NB voltage. But CPU voltage I can change freely with no problem.
When I change fsb(try to overclock) suddenly memory voltage rises how i do not now , but only to 2.35 and no more.
Can anyone help me fix this problem because my memory is not stable at 2.0 or 1.8 sometimes and system crashes?
2.When i change cpu settings from 12.5*200 to (example)10*300 in windows even in system properties see that my current clock is 12.5*300=3750 and not 10*300=3000 like it should be .
Is it bios problem?
My bios version is 1.9.
Thanks!

same problem with the Neo2 FR (like mine). After quite of bit of researching and testing i reckon that software can not correctly read the vRAM on these MSI boards. I found that Speedfan, Everest, and HardwareMonitor all gave an incorrect reading for my RAM's voltage. Also, if i increased the cpu voltage in the BIOS then the voltage monitoring programs would show an increase in CPU voltage and RAM voltage (even though i had not changed the latter).

P35 Neo2 FIR does not boot at all
