P43 Neo - Help please

Hi guys.
New to MSi but loving the look of my new mobo.
Having issues with the installation. Have fixed to case and connected all internal components. Power up the system and it powers up, then 10secs later (with no picture on screen) powers down, then powers up, then down (cont......) !!
Please help. All others components were working this morning. In addition there is a black power lead with 6 female round holes in a rectangluar case. What's it for?
Thanks in advance.

Try a barebone setup: board, cpu, one memory dimm, vga, and an optical drive to boot from.
Try the barebone setup outside of the pc case on a piece of cardboard. See to it there's no conducting materials under the board!
Clear CMOS --> >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Try to boot from Windows or Linux setup CD and see what happens.

  • Need help guide overclocking newbie msi p43 neo

    Hello i just wanted to ask for guide help tutorial ( no OC experience)  on how to do a mild overclock my cpu e7400 + (msi p43 neo) my main goal is 3.0 Ghz with a 1333 fsb. Im still researching guides but its still a bit complicated. My concerns are on the bios  high incriments on the cpu voltage adjuster i can only adjust with increments of 1.141 next is 1.441 then 1.641 is it too high? i am using the default bios. Im not planning on adjusting my memory its at 800 Mhz
    ATM at the bios i can see my default fsb is at 266 x 10.5 = 2.8 Ghz my plan is adjusting it to 286 x 10.5 = 3.03 Ghz.
    My question is how will i raise the fsb to 1333? by adjusting the fsb on the bios am i only adjusting the cpu clock? and is the cpu voltage same as the vcore( the thing they adjust when OCing ) which i cant locate on the bios only cpu voltage..
    And as a backup plan if all fails when trying to OC flashing bios is the right thinkg to do?
    really srry if this is the wrong place to post. If theres any links(guides) with pics same bios you can give would be a tremendous help. thx

    Hi,
    just a few first comments, so that you don't get onto the wrong track:
    Quote
    by adjusting the fsb on the bios am i only adjusting the cpu clock?
    The FSB Frequency is the base frequency for both the CPU Frequency and the memory frequency.  The CPU Frequency is always calculated like this:
    (real) FSB Clock Speed x CPU Ratio/Mutiplier = CPU Frequency
    The Memory Frequency is adjusted via the FSB/DRAM Ratio Option.  If the FSB Frequency is set to 266 MHz the memory will run @DDR2-800 if the FSB/DRAM Ratio is set to 1:1l5...:
    266 MHz FSB x 1.5 = 400 MHz (= DDR2-800 effectively)
    When you raise the FSB Frequency you have to make sure that the FSB/DRAM Ratio you have set in BIOS will not overclock your memory beyond its specifications.  It is not a good idea to leave the FSB/DRAM Ratio set to "AUTO" when you are overclocking.

    Have you browsed through all the values the BIOS allows you to set in order to check if there are other values available?  Setting the CPU Voltage to 1.441 or 1.641 is not really something you should do.  1.441V is already quite high but 1.641V is definately too much.  Leave the CPU Voltage on AUTO for now and see how far you can get without adjusting the CPU Voltage (check the actual Voltage with CPU-Z).

    and is the cpu voltage same as the vcore
    Yes.

    You probably won't need to increase any critical voltage levels for that.  This is a really, really moderate overclock.  Just see what happens if you adjust the FSB Clock Speed to 286 MHz without changing anything else in BIOS (well, keep Spread Spectrum and DOT disabled at all times when you overclock),
    Quote
    And as a backup plan if all fails when trying to OC flashing bios is the right thinkg to do?
    No, that is definately the wrong thing to do.  If the system refuses to start after you changed certain BIOS Options, clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from your PSU.  This will erase all settings and make the BIOS prompt you to reset everything.

  • P43 NEO + Intel E8400 - OC Help

    *EDIT* Oops maybe this should be in the OC Forum, don't know how I missed that.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or any bios settings that are working stable at around 3.8 ghz?
    MSI P43 Neo
    Intel E8400 @ 3.0 Ghz C0 stepping
    2 Gigs (2 x 1) Crucial Ballistix (2.2 volt) 800 Mhz
    I have it running at 3.6 Ghz now with the CPU @ 1.3 Volts and the RAM @ 1.9 volts - other settings are auto for now. Any help would be great.

    Best way to go is slowly raise your fsb and monitor temperatures then stress test for system stability, I wouldnt change stock voltages untill your cpu or memory isnt stable and needs more. More volts=more heat so be carefull how much you feed your cpu and ram. Keep in mind when you raise fsb your memory also increases in frequency (and heat) and can only take so much. Also set your fsb-memory ratio in bios to 1:1. What sort of heatsink are you using on your cpu? because overclocking will make it very hot. I had a scythe ninja on my old E6400 which could easily hit 3.2G stable but the heat generated and the noise from the fan having to go full speed drove me up the wall. I have and E8400 now and dont bother overclocking, I learned to appreciate cool and quiet

  • MSI P43 NEO-F, Q9400, GSkills 4GB DDR2-1066 unstable... help!

    Just built a new system with the following hardware:
    CPU: Intel Quad Core Q9400 (stock: 2.66Ghz 1333Mhz FSB) (running @: 3.2Ghz 1600Mhz FSB)
    Motherboard: MSI P43 Neo F (1.A or 1.10 BIOS)
    Memory: G Skills 2x2GB DDR 1066 5-5-5-15 (F2-8500CL5-2GBPK) (running @ 800 2.1v only, not stable at 1066 2.1v)
    Video Card: MSI ATI R4870
    PSU: OCZ GameXStream, OCZGXS700 7OO watts, 4x +12V@18A outputs
    Cooling heatsinks are all stock, but air flow is good with the new TT case.
    Current voltage settings:
    CPU Voltage: 1.335V
    CPU GTL REF0: Auto
    CPU GTL REF1: Auto
    DRAM Voltage: 2.1V
    MCH or NB Voltage: 1.328V
    VTT FSB Voltage: 1.2V
    MCH GTL REF Voltage: Auto
    ICH or SB Voltage: 1.5
    Does anyone have the similar setup or any idea why I can't get the system running at 3.2GHz @ 1600FSB and 4GB @1066MHz ?
    I've ran multiple tests with PRIME95 and Memtest64, and was unsuccessful.
    System actually got through Prime95's small and large FFT test OK, but failed the Blend test. So I'm leaning towards the memory.
    But I got LOTS of errors from Memtest86, while memory set at 1066 @ 5-5-5-15 2.1V
    What voltage should I be tweaking the CPU, NB and SB to get the RAM to pass Memtest?
    I'm not asking much, but it seems these overclocked DDR2-800 RAM aren't that stable at 1066 without tweaking other components. B/C the system definitely wasn't stable with CPU/FSB @ stock speed and RAM set at 5-5-5-15, 1066, 2.1V
    Don't know why they call it DDR2-1066 when it only runs stable at DDR2-800...
    Any advice would help,
    Thanks

    The P45 Memory controller natively supports only DDR2-667 and DDR2-800 modules.  From the point of view of the chipset, DDR2-1066 is beyond specifications.  Also, your memory modules are just DDR2-800 sticks with a permission to overclock, not native DDR2-1066 modules, built to work @1.8V.
    This double overclocking makes a stable system @DDR2-1066 somewhat of a hit & miss situation.
    Do you have options to tweak the DDR Reference Voltage Values in BIOS?
    Nope, I didn't find a DDR Ref Voltage value.
    Hmm , I thought the MSI specs posted would mean the chipsets and mainboard can sustain double overclocking...
    Cause the memory module report on the MSI website actually has my memory set, and results were OK when operating at DDR2-1066.

  • Help! Is my P43 NEO mobo the problem?

    Forgive me for being a novice. I don't really know what to do.
    I built a new computer with the following
    MSI P43 Neo (MS-7519) BIOS V1.3 (A7519IMS)
    ATI Radeon HD 4830
    2GB OCZ DDRAM2.
    Seagate SATA Hard Drive.
    LG DVD RW.
    Intel E5200
    It blue screened every time I tried to play 3D games, with ATI2DVAG.dll error. I updated all the ATI drivers, but it didn't work.
    So I sent the Radeon card back.
    Worried that the Mobo wasn't compatible with that card, I bought a ATI Radeon HD4850 instead.
    Now I get a ATI3DVAG.dll error whenever I try to play 3D games.
    Are ATI cards just not compatable with this motherboard? Or is it my memory? Or something else? Do I flash the BIOS.
    I'm running WIN XP. I was on Service pack 2, but upgraded to service pack 3 to try and fix the problem.
    Nothing works. That's two cards now, and I still can't play 3D games. It usually crashes within minutes.When the computer boots up and the MSI logo is shown, it makes two beeps. It didn't do this with the last card, but now it does. Does that mean it's the memory?
    Any ideas? I don't know where to go from here.

    Check your memory with memtest86+ and if no errors are found and the system is stable, please update your BIOS to the latest version. >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<

  • Need help to oc msi p43 neo

    hello all,
    I just got my new computer fresh from the shop:
    cpu - c2d e5200
    cpu fan - arctic cooler freezer pro 7
    mobo - msi p43 neo
    (http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1484)
    memory - kingston 800mhz 2gb*1 value - I think the timings are 6-6-6-18
    gpu - sapphire radeon 4850 dual slot fansink
    psu - jsp-tech (ezcool) 450w
    hd - wd 640gb
    case - silverstone ps02b with two case fans
    bios version is 1.7
    OS - windows xp sp3
    I want to do a moderate oc on this baby, but I'm afraid since it's my first time. I read a lot from the internet and also the manual but still have several questions.
    1) I understand that in this mobo there is no need to adjust the pci and pci-e bus?
    2) I plan to do a modest oc - raise it only to 3.0ghz. the bios has gray "auto" next to all of the voltages brackets. can I keep it in "auto"?
    does "auto" means stock voltages or will the voltages rise when I'll raise the fsb?
    I don't want to "overvolt" just yet.
    3) I understand that I need to change DOT, c1e, EIST, spread spectrum to "disable". but I want to keep the EIST and c1e for power conservation. will that effect my oc, considering it's a modest one?
    4) is raising the fsb from 200->240 keeping the multiplier 12.5 (240*12.5=3.0ghz) and changing the FSB:DRAM to 1.66 a good option or should i try another one?
    5) is there other items I should change in the bios?
    If there is anything else that you can suggest, pls do. thank you in advance for your kind reply.

    if your going to oc it in 3.0 ghz just raised the fsb 286.. reboot and see if theirs and error..
    dont change anything yet..

  • P43 Neo alternative onboard sound driver

    Hello again, after a long period of time!
    Can anyone help me with an alternative onboard sound driver for my MSI P43 Neo? It has the Realtek ALC888 implementation and now I use the last MSI driver, from the site. I want something more customizable, for example a full customizable equalizer, not only presets. (Vista x64 and Win7 x64, please)
    Thanks in advance.

    Jack, I know precisely what we are talking about, but I preffere a customizable equalizer in the driver. And I'm not a PC music freak. I have other devices for listening the music. Anyway, the ALC888 on stereo is not so bad how certain people says. It is decent enough.
    Henry, no, I don't have that screen. I have this:

  • *Solved* MSI P43 Neo-F DPC Latency Issue - Latest BIOS Fix

    Hi, I'd like to avail of the latest BIOS fix for the DPC latency problem on my MSI P43 Neo-F (MS-7519) 1.0.
    I'm currently using BIOS 1.9, I haven't flashed to 1.A yet. Does 1.A include a fix or is there another BIOS that's as up-to-date as 1.9 or 1.A that would have the fix, with any links to download? I'm thinking along the lines of the A7519ICI.1xx series, whatever is the latest.
    Thanks in advance.
    EDIT: I have contacted MSI at http://ocss.msi.com.tw/
    I don't suppose there is any links to the latest A7519ICI.1xx BIOS that I can avail of outside of the private MSI FTP server?

    Thanks all for the advice.
    OK, so here's the story. I couldn't relax with those voltages showing up as they were, so I flashed my BIOS to A7519IMS.1A0 (1.A), which is the latest public release for the P43 Neo-F. I was previously on A7519IMS.190 (1.9) before today.
    When I flashed to A7519ICI.104, I noticed the version number was actually 1.10B4 (which I'm guessing can actually be expressed as 1.AB4 - a beta version for the latest public release, 1.A). The flash to A7519ICI.104 solved the DPC Latency issue, as when I used A7519IMS.190 (1.9) it was spiking.
    There is a happy ending. The flash to A7519IMS.1A0 (1.A) has also shown no spikes in the DPC Latency test. It seems the fix must be present in the latest public release BIOS for the P43 Neo-F after-all!
    This screen-shot was taken just a moment ago, proof that the issue has been resolved without a modified BIOS:
    Hope this helps anyone else out who is using the same motherboard and experiencing the same issues. Just get the latest public BIOS. No hassle!
    http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1484
    Please make sure that your motherboard is in-fact the MSI P43 Neo-F (MS-7519) before you flash the BIOS with any of the ones contained within the link above

  • P43 Neo F - no sound device

    I have a P43 Neo F board , XP  proffessional SP3
    Recently my sound device (Realtek) has dissapeared and there is no sound in the computer.
    In the Device Manager ther is a PCI device with yellow question (?) mark and no drivers installed.
    Under Details of the PCI I have VEN_8086&DEV_3A3E&SUBSYS_75191462
    From what I found  on the net this is a HD audio device - but I couldn't find drivers for it
    I tried to install/update drivers - but the system doesn't find them.
    Tried to reinstall Realtek driver - it didn't t change anything
    Upgraded Intel drivers - no success
    Please help  !!!

    Go to device manager, then expand "System Devices", and locate "MS UAA bus" Right click over it, then click "Disable".
    Reboot and enter in "Safe Mode", {hit "F8" just after bios post screen}
    Once done go to device manager then expand "System Devices", and locate "MS UAA bus"  Right click over it, then click "Un-install".
    Reboot PC, then run Realtek driver installation again.
    If problem persist use:

  • [P43 Neo-F] No Pci-e Frequency option in BIOS??

    Hi..
    I am using a MSI P43 Neo F Board(MS-7519).
    Now I am facing the FSB Wall problem of this board and the only solution I have found is to increase Pci-e frequency to 104 as suggested by the main topic about this problem on this forum. But the problem is that there is no pci-e frequency option in my bios. Bios is latest as confirmed by live update software but there is no such option.
    Can anyone help me on that?why is that I have the same model but not the same options??

    Quote from: Adiel on 13-April-11, 04:02:00
    You have not used P43 Neo F I suppose, that mobo does not go above 400 or 415 fsb, search the internet, its a common problem, and the only solution is the one i posted. But why is that the bios of my mobo does not have this option??
    Its most likely because the parts are not the same and even if they were they wouldn't work the same.
    Like he mentioned already, it works for some and not for others. Its a fickle thing, it isn't a matter of "oh hes better so it works" its more like "his CPU's die isn't as f-ed up as yours is". Something along those lines.

  • MSI P43 Neo series FSB wall?

    After messing about quite a bit with this board with various CPU's and Memory, reading comments by other users and OC'ers on other boards, it seems I've come to the bottom of the problem with my Memory / CPU issue's on my board.
    First once again: the used hardware
    Board:MSI 7519 V1.0 P43 Neo-F mainboard
    CPU: Intel E6550 / E6600
    Cooler: Scythe Mine rev. B, stock fan (100mm @ 1500rpm)
    Memory: 2GB kit G.E.I.L. DDR2 800 cl5 "black dragon"
                4GB Corsair XMS2 pc8500 "dominator"
                2 x 1GB OCZ pc9200 900mhz "Special OPS" (not a kit)
                2x 512mb Hynix 667mhz cl4 OEM memory (not a kit)
    Graphics card: MSI X1550, MSI 9600GT 512 OC
    PSU: LC power 650W ATX 2.02 PSU / Raptox 550W ATX 2.01 PSU
    OS: Windows Vista SP1 x64 UK
    I've tried BIOS 1.3 and 1.6 (final versions only)
    Memory shows to be in "asymetric dual channel mode" in every piece of software you trow at it. However, preformance is good.
    Both Jumpers have been removed from the board, setting it to "333-400 mhz mode".
    CE1, Spread spectrum, Speedstep and "OC boost modes" are disabled.
    Memory is on auto (which results in 5-5-5-15) at 2.1V
    MCP voltage is on 1.100 (since I don't want it to go over for no reason)
    CPU core is at 1.375V in bios, resulting in 1.356~1.378V in CPUZ and Coretemp. (varies with every boot)
    I've tried with both my E6550 and a borrowed E6600, but for some reason, the board will not pass it's POST at any FSB higher than 415mhz.
    (resulting in 830mhz DDR2, and a 2904mhz for the E6550 and 3733mhz for the E6600 (at 1.388V))
    This all makes me wish I got the older E6600 instead, eventhough it gets quite hot. Which brings me to the topic of temps: E6550 OC after 1 hour Orthos = 54degrees. (and 33 / 39 idle) For some reason, Windows prefers core2, which Idle's a lot higher (39) than core1.(33)
    The E6600 got to the awefully high temperature of 68 degrees after 2 hours Orthos.
    But now the issue: As soon as I pop the FSB to 416, 417 or 420, the system will no longer boot, and I will get the "OC failed" message after shutting the power down.
    I've read quite a few reviews and many people seem to encouter these problems. Boards with same chipsets, seem to go to quite a bit higher. (435 being the worst one in the same price range: the Gigabyte DS3 P43 version.)
    Am I overlooking something? Would more voltage sort these problems? (I already went a bit overboard just to test)
    Are there settings I'm missing?
    Any help would be greatly appriciated!!!

    Hi Unicron, read ur post and thought id give you some feedback.Im the guy who originally posted the 417fsb wall thread.I beleve these boards with the p43 chipset Do indeed have something going on which limits  the higher fsb speeds seen by p45 series. Id be interested to hear if Any one with a p43 version msi board has achieved speeds beyond 415-417. I know the p45 chipsets have gotten thru the 500fsb barrier.I had tried Every bios available for my p43 neo3-f board and EVERY possible bios setting and yet never got beyond that 417 limitation. Voltages raised in cell menu have No effect on getting thru it. board is strong and stable Up to that point, then 1 mhz beyond there is no post or freezing as it enters desktop.Ultimately after spending 3 weeks intensive trying everything and scouring every forum and msi tech for advice, to no avail, i just gave up on it and returned my board to manufacturer. I purchased another brand of board and went right thru that fsb wall with same hardware and cpu.i was able to achieve 535fsb no problem. I had tried to post "which" board i went with before on this forum but was  censored heavily for trying to do so. I guess such sharing is Not allowed. Moderators take that as promoting "other" manufacturers boards and frown on it.My intent was only to share what i learned and help others. So i have to keep that info to myself sadly.. anyway thats my 2 cents, my name is Paul. good luck !
    Yes, I think we discovered the same thing:
    The MSI P43 Neo boards don't go over 414, 415 or 417mhz FSB.
    Nor do various other brands. I must say I haven't found/read about a P43 board that does. But I guess if you claim there 's such a board, it must exist.
    I'm done looking. Next time I'll buy a higher end board. Low end CPU + Low end board OC isn't a very good idea. I should've gone with a X48 MSI DDR2 board + E9650.

  • MSI P43 Neo-F iP43 Memory Remap Question

    Planning on building the following system:
    MSI P43 Neo-F iP43 motherboard
    Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU
    Force3D HD 4670 512MB GDDR3
    4GB RAM
    So, besides any issues anyone is aware of between the above components, my main query is whether this motherboard supports memory hole remapping (so I can see and use the whole 4gb in windows) and whether it does this automatically or via a BIOS option? I'll be using either Windows XP 64 BIT or VISTA 64 BIT.
    Any help much appreciated,
    Thanks.

    There is no option in bios (1.6) but using 64bit Mandriva Linux i have 0-3072MB then the last gig is mapped to 4096-5120MB so it skips the 3072-4096MB area used to PCI devices. this is using 4GB of Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800.

  • MSI P43 Neo 3F PCB 1.1 can't OC by switch at bus 333MHz

    My pc: E5200 R0, MSI P43 Neo 3F PCB 1.1 (latest bios ver 2.5), 2x2Gb KingMax 1066, Vga 7100GS, PSU AcBel E2 400W, Hdd Seagate 250Gb SATA2.
    When i adjust bus 200->266 by switch it work OK but 200->333 system can't boot and work. Is Mainboard wrong ? Thanks.

    Hi Unicron, read ur post and thought id give you some feedback.Im the guy who originally posted the 417fsb wall thread.I beleve these boards with the p43 chipset Do indeed have something going on which limits  the higher fsb speeds seen by p45 series. Id be interested to hear if Any one with a p43 version msi board has achieved speeds beyond 415-417. I know the p45 chipsets have gotten thru the 500fsb barrier.I had tried Every bios available for my p43 neo3-f board and EVERY possible bios setting and yet never got beyond that 417 limitation. Voltages raised in cell menu have No effect on getting thru it. board is strong and stable Up to that point, then 1 mhz beyond there is no post or freezing as it enters desktop.Ultimately after spending 3 weeks intensive trying everything and scouring every forum and msi tech for advice, to no avail, i just gave up on it and returned my board to manufacturer. I purchased another brand of board and went right thru that fsb wall with same hardware and cpu.i was able to achieve 535fsb no problem. I had tried to post "which" board i went with before on this forum but was  censored heavily for trying to do so. I guess such sharing is Not allowed. Moderators take that as promoting "other" manufacturers boards and frown on it.My intent was only to share what i learned and help others. So i have to keep that info to myself sadly.. anyway thats my 2 cents, my name is Paul. good luck !
    Yes, I think we discovered the same thing:
    The MSI P43 Neo boards don't go over 414, 415 or 417mhz FSB.
    Nor do various other brands. I must say I haven't found/read about a P43 board that does. But I guess if you claim there 's such a board, it must exist.
    I'm done looking. Next time I'll buy a higher end board. Low end CPU + Low end board OC isn't a very good idea. I should've gone with a X48 MSI DDR2 board + E9650.
