P35 Neo2-FR Bios problem

Hello, well the problem being, my system goes like this : system freezes, keyboard stops answering after some period of time. I just build a new system.
My CPU is running stock.
My RAM is running stock.
My VGA is running stock.
My drivers are right.
I did run a memtestx86 & no error reported.
I did not test another CPU
I did not test another GPU
I did not test another MOBO
MSI P35 Neo2-FR PCB v1.2
Intel Pentium 4 E541 @ 3.2GHz
Tuniq Tower 120
OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 SLI-Ready Edition Dual Channel 2x1GB

Huntkey Green Star 550W PSU
Cooler Master Centurion 590
WinXP SP3
everything running default speed & settings.also, i just fresh install my winxp. winxp installation running fine. but when i log-on,after some period of time the system crash. i tried flashing beta build bios.also no luck.but suprisingly, my system seems fine when flashed to A7360IMS.182T bios!  no freeze,no crash! is there something wrong with my system here? is it my mobo?

At this time, i'm using A7360IMS.182T bios. my system will crash in windows when flashed to A7345IMS.xxx bios.even the oficially one.

nightmare's right. The bios you flashed is not for P35 Neo2/Plat. Sure it's that bios and sure you have a Neo2
I know it's not for P35 Neo2/Plat. I'm sure i have Neo2.It's written everywhere: the box,mobo,manual,CD, etc... Do i need to post a picture of my mobo here???

  • P35 NEO2-FR startup problems, cannot get into BIOS

    Hello!
    So i recently bought new parts for my computer:
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz 1333Mhz
    Motherboard: MSI P35 NEO2-FR
    RAM: 2x Corsair TWIN2X 2048MB 6400 DDR2
    PSU: Corsair Powersupply 550W (3.3v/30A, 5v/28A, 12V/41A)
    Graphics Card: GeForce 7800 gtx (this part was not new, so i dont have any more details for it)
    I start up my computer with only the CPU, graphics card and one RAM module installed, and a keyboard attached to the ps2 slot (using a converter) for simplicity. The problem is that the computer freezes up when the MSI screen comes up, and i cannot get into the BIOS. The LED lights on the motherboard is indicating the state "Testing base and extended memory". And b/c i go straight into the MSI start-up screen i am unable to find out what BIOS version i am running, though i am fairly sure (i have talked with another person that bought the same motherboard from the same shop as me at about the same time, and he is running BIOS v1.8) that it is 1.8 and it is therefore compitable with my cpu. I have also tried several different types of RAM with the same results. I am also very certain that i have all the cables plugged in correctly (have also tried resetting CMOS ALOT of times) but still the same result.
    Does anyone have any clue what could be the problem ?

    Have a look at the sticker on the BIOS Chip of the board to check the factory BIOS Version.  The following picture shows the location of the chip on your board (it is actually a P35 Platinum, but it has the same PCB as the P35 Neo2-FR):

    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz 1333Mhz
    If you have an E8500, E0 (and not an E8500, C0) you will need BIOS v1.9 [A7345IMS.190] to have full support for your processor.  You can identify your processor model by checking its sSpec number (on the CPU itself or on the box):
    E8500, C0 ---> sSpec#=SLAPK {Supported since BIOS v1.6 [A7345IMS.160]}
    E8500, E0 ---> sSpec#=SLB9K  {Supported since BIOS v1.9 [A7345IMS.190]}

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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 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

    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.

  • 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 neo2-fr,Bios flashed to 1.9.E8400 e0 bsod ?.

    Hi.
     I built a system for my brother with these parts,
     P35 neo2-fr,
     E8400 E0
     4gig G-skill F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI-B  ram (that will not work with this mobo so I had to swap it with my other brothers Geill kit to get the system to work, The board is stable with the Geil ram),
     Xfx gtx260,
     OCZ 600W StealthXStream psu.
     I read other topics on this forum and found out that the mobo had to be flashed to the version 1.9 bios to get this cpu to work with the mobo. I have flashed it to the newer bios.
     The problem is that the pc keeps crashing to blue screens giving varios error codes at differant times and types of operation. I have tested and primed the pc with a Q6600 (mine) and my other brothers E6400 with no issues, the pc is stable and without any issues. This leads us in the direction of the E8400 been faulty...But.  I have tested the E8400 on another pc and primed it for 2hrs with no errors.
     I think that there is just a compatability issue with the chip and board and mabe I need a newer bios ?. I have alredy downloaded the bios again and flashed the mobo with the new dl'd bios to make sure.
     Is there any new bios revisions coming out soon so I can try to resolve this or does any one have any other suggestions ?.
     I bought this board because I have my old northwood 3gig rig running a 865 neo2 platinum board the last 4-5 yrs with no probs at all and thought the new version would be as hassle free.
     Help!!!!.
     

    2 ,and there plugged in.
     I've checked all psu connections.
     I've been building pc's for about 4yrs now for customers and family.
     The components have all been tested individualy.
     When I put my Q6600 onto the board I forgot to set the fsb jumpers to 266mhz and the chip booted as 333mhz x4 (3ghz) I benched it with prime and it was stable. My Q66 ( batch l737b )runs at 3gig on 1.2v all day so i knew it was good to go.
     Its got me scratching my head

    Recently i decided to enable the sleep mode on my computer (because the power cost, my computer is all the time on).
    So, i go to my bios and i change the suspend mode to S3. I boot my os (windows7) and i tried to sleep.
    The system is going to sleep fine but nevers wakeup, the led of motherboard is flashing fast red-green-reg-green and after random time stops flashing, sometimes all are red and sometimes are all green!
    Before post here i tried to fix the sleep and i read evert post.
    I have try: Flash Bios to (1.8, 1.7, 1.2, 1.C, 1.A, 1.9), update all of my drivers including (lan, gpu, chipset), disconnect every usb includes keyboard (i tried with old ps2 keyboard), disconnect all pci cards, disconnect all RAM's (except one), i tried another Graphics Card (Gigabyte 8600GT), another PSU (Premier 400w), Bios Settings (ACHI/IDE, Recall GPU, PCI express x4, clear cmos), change DVI connector port on gpu, change to analogue RGB D-SUB, reinstall windows to ide disk/sata disk with S3 Enabled!
    I tried to sleep from my Hackintosh 10.7 with the same error and with linux (openSuse) with the same error.
    I have notice coz when i remove rams and i downclock the cpu and rams the leds are stop flashing in 2-3 secs (normaly tooks 10-40 secs)
    Also the mb never wake with keyboard key press event!
    Please experts, i need your help...      

    @NovJoe
    Thanks for reply!
    I have test with one piece of ram. also i tested with another cpu (Intel Celeron 1.6 - i cant remember the model).
    My motherboard version is 1.2 (MS-7345 V1.2)
    (i dont know if it helps but hibernation working really good! working on windows and mac)
    before a hour i test to reprogram bios with floppy disk! first i destroy my bios (i edited with ami tools to corrupt and the mobo start the recovery process, i put a floppy with the last bios renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM and the recovery worked! but sleep not)
    i dont want to talk with msi for a too old mobo, so if anyone knows whats is happen please help.

  • P35 Neo2-FR BIOS?

    The MSI Global site shows no BIOS updates listed for the P35 Neo2-FR at all; the Neo2 Platinum does show several updates and from other posts here it appears that both boards use the same BIOS.  OTOH it makes me nervous about using a BIOS which is not officially listed for the Neo2-FR.  Is this really just an oversight by MSI?  I wish they'd fix it!

    Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 27-September-07, 16:01:48
    The P35 Neo2-FR uses the same PCB as the P35 Platinum (MS-7345 v1.x).
    That is one of the reason both boards use the same BIOS:
    http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1212
    Yes I understand that but there is no BIOS update listed here: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1261.  It seems strange to say the least and given the caution one approaches BIOS updates, one has to wonder why?... and what MSI's official position is on this?
    Quote
    If you don't have any good reason to perform a BIOS update, stay away from flashing a different BIOS.
    I'm well aware of the risks thanks.

  • P35 Neo2 FR reset problem with high FSB

    Hi,
    after trying some OC at 3.2ghz (vcore 1.2500 (+0.0125)) 400x8; DDR/FSB 1:1 >>DDR800 (all RAM timing at default, vram at def) I noted that when I press ctrl+alt+del during boot or in a boot manager(specific or windows boot mngr) the pc do not restart normaly but power off and after ~2-3 sec restart (as in a fake boot or as when it check the bios setting after a mod).
    After some investigation (tried some frequency with x8 CPU multiplier, and RAM mult. 1:1) I discover that at FSB>370mhz the pc start to make the reset as said over.(it also power down and restart as said when I mod the FSB over 370 and then save in the bios, but this do not happen when I mod FSB under 370)
    AH! I moved the jumper on MB for the FSB to 333.(because if I don't with FSB over 382 it change NB and SB voltage).
    After booting the os start as normal and I've done and succeded S&M test (so cpu should not be the problem, RAM also tested with that settings and seems ok(2xmemtest 700%))
    Is this normal?Someone has this problem?Is this maybe because FSB is over specification?
    Thanks

    Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 16-October-08, 17:52:12
    Hello Viktor92,
    unless this happens again and more frequently, I would simply attribute the problem to a confused BIOS (as a CMOS Reset seems to have solved the problem asap).  Just watch your system and the Clock Speeds a little to check if that happens again.  If it does not, there was most probably no serious problem behind it.
    Hello Jack, the system is working perfect after many cold boots, setting the FSB at 334 mhz as it should. Two weeks ago I was fighting with a cheap internal carry disk that made poor contact (I'm trying vista ultimate 64) and I've made many forced shutdowns when I saw that the bios didn't find the disk. In one of the reboots the system started telling me that a previous overclocking has failed, then I've checked the bios parameters and saved it, but after this event I get two BSOD, and the FSB started to show an incorrect frecuency value, so maybe that was the cause that the bios gets "confused" as you said.

  • NEO2 Platinum BIOS problem

    After updating my BIOS from v1.4 to v1C all my games and videos and everything else have been stuttering. Does anyone know what do do about this cuz I even tried revering it back to v1.4 and it still is the same? Thanks in advance

    always write down your custom BIOS setup before reset CMOS or perform BIOS update.
    try "LOAD BIOS DEFAULT", then "SAVE AND EXIT". go back to BIOS and setup your custom parameters.
    see if help, if no change give us better explanation where that stuttering comes. and also provide full PC specification Moan Guide for further troubleshouting and suggestion

    I want to overclock and i want to change the multiplier to make some tests ! And i can`t do that without EIST DISABLED !
    OK, stay calm.  Getting frustrated is only going to make people not reply.
    I'm not sure why disabling EIST is giving you a BSOD.  I don't think anyone has any ideas since you have no real replies.
    A kernel trap is hardware failure usually.  Makes me think when you disable EIST, the machine becomes unstable.   Are you setting the default multiplier for your processor?  Hell, we don't even know what it is.  How about you list your rig specs?
    Just to add:  Overclocking with EIST enabled is pretty much the same.  You save power, so I don't know why you'd want to turn it off, in all honesty.

  • P35 Neo2 Fr / Corsair RAM

    Hi guys - help required!
    Just completed my first build (second if you include a mobo rebuild);
    P35-Neo2 Fr (bios v.1.8)
    E8400
    Antec EA-500W PSU
    Asus EN8600GT
    and Corsair XMS2-6400 2 x 2048C4DHX DDr2
    initially couldn't get the system through POST - was hanging on the 'Memory Detection Test' - RRGR Led's. Tried all variations of dimm slots including single  channel - all to no avail. Resorted to buying a cheap PNY pc6400 single 512 stick and now I can get through POST all ok. I've since tried changing bios timing settings to match the Corsair RAM but still won't boot when I switch the sticks? Are there any known issues with this RAM / mobo combi?
    thanks

    So, I've upped the memory voltage to 2.1v and managed to get one of the corsair sticks through POST, I can't however add the second. I tried with default bios settings (apart from mem v) and I also tried with manual timing (4.4.4.12) and manual freq (1:1.2 =800).
    running out of ideas! (really don't want to flash new bios) - does the mem voltage need to be higher for dual channel working?
    thanks

  • E8200 Retail with MSI P35 Neo2-FR :

    Thought of sharing with the guys here.
    Test Setup :
    E8200 w/Intel default cooler.
    Msi P35 Neo2-Fr Bios v1.1/1.81b
    Corsair 6400C4DHX 2GB
    Msi 8800GT 512Mb -OC Edition(Red Juliet)
    Hitachi 160Gb sata
    Acbel iGold 550w
    Neo2/platinum Users take note.
    If you are on any bios earlier than v1.6.
    Do not worry, it will still boot and run fine.
    You can always flash the bios later.
    Here are results for coolalar.com using E8400 with P35 Neo2-Fr :

    Here's ours, but E8200.
    Bios 1.1 works too.
    Here are some default results of the processor :
    We flashed to Bios v1.81b :
    3Dmark06 : Higher cpu score
    Cinebench r10 :

    Pumped up some video clocks and slightly higher fsb.
    511x8, 1.5v
    3Dmark06 :
    A final validation :

    The 6Mb is nice to have.
    But if you are already using an E6750, don't think you will see much difference.
    For low volts and operating temperatures,
    The 45nm is good.
    Ours is good at 3.6Ghz @ 1.25v(bios).
