P965 Neo and Core 2 Duo 6400 Issues

I have P965 Neo and Core 2 Duo 6400 and Win XP SP2 with all mainboard drivers installed. The problem is that the system recognises only one of the two cores...Any idea?
Here is a full report made with PC wizard 2006 [html included in rar]:

I had the same problem with my E6300, the only way to resolve was to reinstall windows then both cores were recognised! Nothing else worked.

  • P965 Neo and core 2 duo issue

    I have a P965 Neo
    Vista x64
    Intel Core 2 Duo 2200
    4Gb Ram
    ATI radeon HD 3650 512Mb
    Core 2 duo processor seems to run a lot warmer than I think it should, both idlling and running high demand things (like games). Real Temp show the cores running at 83degC at times when CPU has been running at or close to 100% constantly. SpeedFan also shows high temps, and I have tried to control the fan speed using this program, but the max RPM of the standard Intel fan is approx 2000RPM, which I think I have it running at constantly.
    I have just bought and Arctic Freezer 7 to cool it a bit more, but Im hoping someone has some help re some BIOS or other settings I can tweak to remedy this. Dual Core Center doesnt run on Vista x64 (I think), so I cant use that for anything.
    One point I did notice was something about the CPU and 550MHz in the BIOS - offhand I cant remember what this was (Im at work now).
    The RAM seems to be running at 800MHz, and the FSB is 200MHZ (ie not over or underclocked). I dont see any option to adjust the CPU Multiplier if this is a solution.
    I hope this gives someone enough info to help! If you need anything else I can post it when I get home.
    Firstly - apologies if this has been answered or is a stupid question - Im working my way through the forum trying to find answers, but nothing yet.
    Im newish to the PC building game, and I know the basics, but BIOS stuff, overclocking etc is still unknown to me

    Quote
    I can say I have not updated the BIOS from whatever was delivered in the box. If it helps I have this info:
    Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG
    That is not your BIOS Version. Check your current BIOS Version by looking at the information displayed on the POST Screen:
    In your case it should say: "W7235IMS V1.??"

    When you mention, real temp running at 83C, may i know where you're monitoring from?
    Cas, he says he is using  Real Temp to check is processors Core Temperatures.  Real Temp is a Windows based application:
    http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/
    Quote
    I would suggest you to monitor the temp in bios either under hardware monitor or health status
    Note that the BIOS does not display Core Temperatures (which are read directly from the registers of the processors).  The CPU Temperature displayed in BIOS depends on an analog sensor.  CPU Temperature and Core Temperatures cannot be simply compared.

  • PC freezes. (P965 Neo-f & Core 2 Duo E6400)

    Hello,
    I need some help.
    My system became instable since I did a clean install.
    It just freezes, especially when using heavier apps (within 5 min).
    It is running winxp (Dutch version incl all win essential updates) and I used “live update 3” to get the latest drivers.
    I did flash my bios (that wasn’t probably the smartest thing to do).
    I already read some stuff on the forum (like the 1.9V my DDR2 need)…
    and i installed “MSI Core Center” (system temp 35°, cpu temp 45°-50°).
    But I didn’t discovered what my problem is.
    Can anybody help me out please?
    Kind regards,
    Simon

  • P965-Neo and jMicron issue

    Hi,
    I have a strange problem with MSI P965-Neo related to jMicron PATA-IDE (a DVD-RW is connected there).
    The system is working just fine:
    1) the SATA HDD is recognized in the first BOOT phase and the DVD-RW is recognized in the 2nd boot phase (the jMicron boot phase).
    2) WinXP-SP2 has no problems at all with both drives (HDD & DVD)
    But ...
    In case of DVDs (read) I get no more than 1X speed (approx. 1200KB/sec)
    In case of CDs (read) I get no more than 8X (approx. 1200KB/sec).
    So the max speed for my optical drive is 1200KB/sec.
    At this speed it's obviously that I cannot burn CDs or DVDs ...
    There're no reading/writing issues with my optical drive (LG H10N) on other systems.
    Is someone able to help me ?
    thanks

    Quote from: antonis
    Set the Jmicron in the BIOS to RAID mode. That worked for me.
    Didn't work (but thanks anyway).
    The problem is solved now (I had to waste enough time for that ...).
    The solution: http://www.dieselbenz.info/JMB36X_WinDrv_Beta_R1.17.04.00.rar
    It's a beta driver, but this is the answer to all "jMicron on MSI"  bugs.
    With that driver I was able to write a full CD at 48X and a full DVD at 8X without any error.
    p.s.
    A little piece of advice for MSI team:
    The current v1.5 BIOS and jMicron driver are buggy (talking about MSI P965-Neo) !
    You have to solve this problem as faster as you can because is very annoying and you'll lose customers !

  • P965 Neo and Corsair XMS2 DIMM kit 1024MB PC2-5300U CL4-4-4-12 (DDR2-667

    I have a nasty compatibility issue with my P965 Neo board in combination with Corsair DDR2 memory.
    Hardware config:
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6400, 2x2.13GHz, 266MHz FSB
    MSI P965 Neo-F (7235 PCB-V1.1) BIOS V1.50
    Corsair XMS2 DIMM kit 1024MB (2x512MB) PC2-5300U CL4-4-4-12 (DDR2-667) XMS5402v5.7
    Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB 16MB SATA II
    Asus Extreme N7600GS SILENT/HTD, GeForce 7600 GS, 256MB, DVI, TV-out, PCIe
    Using the Corsair memory at 667MHz (BIOS: auto by SPD) results in an unstable system and a lot of memory errors (checked by memtest86+). If I set the frequency to 533MHz the system is 100% stable.
    Anyone else who encountered this problem? I have also tried to use only 1 DIMM for single channel mode, same problem.
    Will this issue be fixed in the upcoming BIOS release?
    cheers,

    strange there are no corsair 5300 only 5400 ?
    and cm2x512-5400c4 needs 2.0v but cm2x512-5400c4pro only 1.9v ! so maybe it has nothing to say that my 5400c4pro are perfect ?
    how good are the samsungs ?

  • P965 Neo-F V2 boot cd issues

    Good Evening,
    I got about 5 news systems with a mix of the P965 Neo boards. Some are the old Revision 1.1 with the Award bios and others at Rev 2.1 with the AMI.
    These came with windows oem installed.
    With myself owning a rev 1.1 Neo board at home I had no problems setting up those systems with and using GHOST.
    It's the Neo-F V2 boards I have problems with.
    Spec:
    Antec Sonata with a Antec Trio Power 550watt PSU
    MSI P965 Neo-F V2
    Core 2 Duo E6600
    OCZ Platnium Rev 2.2
    GeForce 8800GTS 320meg
    80 gig Seagate 7200.10 SATAII
    Sony IDE DVD-Rom
    What I notice from the boards is the ide controllers been different. Also the options in the bios for configuring them been different when compared.
    The only boot cd I got to work out of the 3 systems based on that V2 board was the Windows XP Home OEM cd that came with them.
    My Linux distros burnt on Taiyo's, Verbatims couldn't boot. It would show a blinking cursor then start dropping down 10 pixels when each dvd-rom seek scan then hit the bottom of the screen and stayed there. My GHOST 11 network boot cds couldnt boot either same display output. These have been tested and verified in other systems. I also use the same dvd-rom that came with these computers.
    I'm abit at a lost seen how I need to create my images for when more are ordered.
    Thanks for any help,
    Malbojia

    It's the Neo-F V2 boards I have problems with.
    The board has a Marvell 88SE6111 Controller to provide an IDE port (P965 Neo uses a JMicron Controller).  As far as I know, Linux Distribution have to come with Kernel v2.6.20. to support Marvell Chipsets correctly.  Could that be it?

  • Core2 Duo and Core Duo?

    I'm finally converting to mac and want to buy a mac mini but I was wondering if someone could help me out first. Is there a difference between the Core 2 Duo and the Core Duo? I was wondering if it would be better to wait for the Mini's to come out with the Core 2 Duo first before I bought one. I'd say if there's not much of a difference, I'm going for it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    but apple used to put a video car in the mini and the
    ibook's. there starting to get cheap. i kno the cards
    wernt top of the line but it made it a mac and not a
    junky peecee
    There are many points to make:
    1 - A Mac is not defined by the hardware but by how the system works, what it does, and how it does it. I would point out to you that the vast majority of users would find it hard to discern their system was Intel or PPC, or had a video card or integrated graphics. Some know and care, but most don't.
    2 - If you think integrated graphics equates to a 'junky pc' then it's time you tried a mini in comparison to an equivalent Dell.
    3 - You can ignore the technical issues if you want, but enhancements in systems design and chip performance have given rise to much better integrated graphics sub-systems than ever existed before.
    4 - There are many people who would consider the ATI 9200 (for example), as used on the G4 minis and many iBooks as extremely poor and limiting. Not surprising since by the standards of the day it was used on those systems it most assuredly was. It was also significantly inferior to the integrated graphics systems on the new models.
    5 - Horses for courses. Low-end systems will have low-end specifications both to hold prices down and make the entry-level models accessible to the buying public, and to ensure those models don't cannibalize sales of the higher-end gear. It would be idiocy of the worst sort to risk bumping the entry-price for Mac ownership up at all in order to include a video card that most users have no reason to actually want.
    6 - Prejudice against a design element doesn't equate to good technical evaluation. Objection to the integrated graphics choice is understandable in the historic context, but needs to be evaluated against the backdrop of what users actually want and realistically from their systems.
    7 - If anyone were to have specific need for a dedicated graphics sub-system in their Mac, there are plenty of models to offer it.

  • P965 NEO and Windows 7 compatibility

    Hello everyone
    I would like to know if my MSI P965 NEO motherboard is compatible with Windows 7. I've read on the website that it is certified with Windows Vista, but not any mention about Windows 7.
    TIA 

    I have a P965 Neo motherboard and Windows 7 Home Premium OS. It works without any problem.

  • P965 Neo and IDE options.

    Hi people,
    My current setup is C2D E6600 and P965 Neo overclocked at 312FSB, (wouldn't go any further), 2*1 GB Corsair PC2-5300 and Win XP pro SP2. I've got a Benq DW1670 DVD writer and i've tried every way to enable the DMA for it so i can write a DVD in less than 1:30 hours ( i know thats a lot of time). I've tried to uninstall the drivers for my Secondary IDE Channel where my writer is found so that windows would reinstall it and fix that without success, i' ve tried uninstalling the writers drivers and still nothing, i even hacked the registry and still nothing, so i thought that it could be the BIOS. Unfortunatelly in the BIOS (version 1.5) i cannot locate any options for my writer nor my writer mentioned anywhere except the boot sequence.
    Any ideas where these options can be found?
    Also another thing that got me confused, is about RAID. Some people here complain that there is no RAID for this mobo and some others are trying to create RAID. Is it possible to create a strip RAID with this mobo? In the instructions manual it even explains about the different kind of RAIDs. (i am a newbie on RAIDs. Never done one before). Also what the hell is the Jmicron?
    Antonis

    JMicron IDE/SATA RAID Driver allows raid
    Intel ICH8 not support for Raid........... Platinum version supports ICH8R
    XP with SP2 will not show DMA mode
    You could also try a 40 pin cable rather than the 80 pin..........

  • Problems with P965 Neo and E4500 Core 2 Duo

    Hope someone can help.
    I have a gadget for Vista that shows core usage. The second core does not register at all when running a performance test. Also, when I look under "My Computer" at the Properties it shows:
    Processor:    Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU   E4500 @ 2.20GHz  1.10GHz
    Also, my Windows Experience Index for my processor is only 4.3, seems low for the processor.
    Makes me wonder if the second core is toast? Why would it show 1.10GHz? Looking at my BIOS version, I believe it's at 1.5 (I've never updated it since it came out of the package) but the Live Update Online utility says there are no newer versions available. I tried to download the BIOS update off MSI's website, but when I click on the .exe file, it flashes and then goes away. So fast, that I can't even read or see much of anything. The instructions that were included do not cover Vista, and say I have to get a 98/XP boot disk??? When has that ever been necessary for a BIOS update?
    Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

    Hello and Welcome to the Forum!
    BIOS-Updates
    BIOS Updates should be done in pure DOS mode.  Flashing from a Windows Environment is very risky and should be avoided if possible.  Flash your BIOS only if you are aware of the risks of BIOS Flashing.  Updating the BIOS should be the last resort in troubleshooting.  If you are sure you want to flash a different BIOS use the Forum's USB-Flashing.  It is easy to use and prepares the Flash Drive automatically for a DOS-Flash.  You can find it here:

    The second core does not register at all
    Is your CPU properly recognized in BIOS and during POST?
    In BIOS, make sure the following options are properly set:
    ACPI = Enabled
    (IO)APIC = Enabled
    MPS Table Version = 1.4
    If you are sure these options are as shown above, force Vista to re-detect proper HAL during startup.  You have to find Vista's Advanced Boot Options dialog box in order to do that:

  • MOVED: p965 platinum and Corsair XMS2 6400 overclocking issue

    This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=107327.0

    Please read this topic. It's a bunch of info, but it will tell you a lot about this board. Your DRAM is not the issue at hand, BIOS 1.2 is. Flash 1.51 beta to overclock stable. CAS Latency 4 is not an option in the current BIOS versions, it gets set to 3. So for the time being it's either CAS 5 or CAS 3.

  • P965 platnium and windows boot up issues

    Hello,
    I put my computer together yesterday and everything seemed to work alright.  I was successfully able to install windows.  The issue i have is that windows will only load up once, then it will always freeze on start up. 
    For example last night, I reinstalled windows, got to it to load up, installed my network driver, browsed the web for a few minutes, and then restarted the computer.  Then windows froze up during start up, so i reboot, and try to boot into safe-mode, which also ends up freezing after loading a few files.
    This has been very repeatable, I can always reinstall and get back into windows, but i can not restart without it freezing.  I ended up downloading liveupdate and updating the bios to 1.2, but that didn't seem to help.
