P965 Neo DVD-RW Issues

Forgive me if the answer to my question is obvious, but I searched around here for a while and couldn't find any help for my exact issue. Basically, I am unable to install WinXP because my DVD-RW drive isn't recognized as a bootable device, even though it shows up in the boot sequence menu as a choice in the BIOS. If I set my DVD-RW drive as the 1st bootable device and restart, the system will go through boot process, but fails with
**ERROR No CD-ROM drive found, please check power or cable
**ERROR IDE CD-ROM device driver NOT installed
A:\echo off
NWCDEX.EXE Version 2.81 CD-ROM file handler.
Driver not found: 'generic'.
A:\NWCDEX.EXE requires a Driver name to be specified.
Invalid drive specified.
I also noticed that the boot sequence does not list any IDE devices, however later it shows the following:
HDD0: WDC WD3200KS-00PFB0 320GB
ODD0: SONY DVD RW DRU-710A
Any advice would be much appreciated. Please let me know if any further info is required to provide assistance.
Thanks in advance

Don't worry, that is a common issue with any system. Probably the USB drive used to be assigned a letter in another system and happens to have an identical letter used by another drive which caused the problem. What you can do is to access disk management and assign another letter to it and you should be able to see the drive.
The USB drive does appear in disk management, but for some reason it doesn't allow me to assign a letter to it. Here is a snapshot. Notice it appears below, but not above with the other drives.

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

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 !

K8N Neo DVD drive issues

I am having problems getting my liteon 811s dvd drive to work on my MSI K8N neo. Im pretty sure the problem is the motherboard. I did have the drive working for a while but one day it stopped working. It will show a cd and you can get into the folders, but when it tried to copy data the program that is trying to acess the cd just freezes. Another weird thing is that i can burn dvds ok. I have tried installing windows (in dos) on to a dinfrent hard drive and the installation just froze. I poped the drive into my older computer and it worked with no probelms. Another thing i tried was clearing the CMOS. That improved things temporarly, it would copy a dvd and after 40% it would crap out. After a restart it would not work like normal. I have also tried switching IDE cables.

Just to finish what I posted above:
With BIOS "Standard CMOS Features" for the Secondary Slave switched from "Auto" to "Manual", I can select the DMA Mode using Windows' Device Manager, it stays where I put it, and allows full function of the DVD/CD Rom drive. With BIOS set to "Auto", it wants to select Ultra DMA 5, which the drive is said to support, but this causes problems reading CDs. I can change the DMA Mode in Device Manager, but it finds its way back to Ultra DMA 5 after a reboot/use or two.
It may very well be that this could be fixed by getting the two DVD/CD drives off the same Channel -- when I feel like rearranging everything in my box to do this, I'll try it.
The funny thing is that with this virgin system, everything ran fine for a while. There may be incompatible software involved -- incompatible with either the drive or combination of drives, the mobo chipset, or the BIOS. I probably can't blame the nvidia IDE drivers, since I get the CD-reading problem even with Windows IDE drivers. I'm tempted to reformat the drive and start over, paying closer attention to this as I install software.
I first noticed the CD-reading when I updated the firmware on the drive -- I can't blame it on that since I reflashed it to original, and the drive works fine with either firmware version when connected to another machine.
My specific problem was that the drive refused to read any type of CD -- DVDs were OK. Windows could identify the files on a disk, but could not read them. (Changing DMA Mode fixes this, but getting the DMA Mode change to stick requires the BIOS change described above.)
Anyway, to 6th Extinction: I realize this thread has wandered away from your specific problem -- hope you get it solved -- maybe some of what's been posted here, and elsewhere, will help.

P965 NEO Slow IDE DVD/CD drive

Ok,
I've read some of the articles on problems with CD readers/writers not working or working very slow using this MOBO.
Here is my problem
I have a SATA hd that has my windows xp OS and it works fine. I installed it from the CD rom no problem.
The only problem I have is the CD/DVD rom appears to work very slowly in Windows.
****I am not running any raid devices.****
Should I have to install a JMICRO driver just to get my CD/DVD writer to function properly? I looked for a driver using the links I found in this forum but didn't find any. Im not sure if I even need one.
Has anyone solved this problem that isn't using Raid? I'd rather not install a driver if I do not need it.
Thanks,
JIm

After my current install is done I'm going to try this driver that remus suggests. As he had the identical problem I have. I tried that link above but it aimed at a 64bit driver? Not sure about that one if this doesnt work Illl try that one.
The problem is solved now (I had to waste enough time for that ...).

MOVED: p965 Neo 2 board can't recognise samsung writemaster DVD writer

Quote from: Misha
Just bought the board. Installed it. will not boot from win xp or any other bootable cd rom. help
The Intel 965 (and 975) chipset does NOT support IDE/PATA.
For this reason, each mainboards manufacturer is using a 3rd party IDE controller.
In this case (P965 Neo2) MSI is using Marvell 88SE6111.
Any PATA device is not recognized in the first boot phase. You have to wait for the 2nd one (post-boot) in order to see it.
Check out your bootable devices (and their order) in BIOS: the CDROM option means SATA optical device, not PATA CDROM.
To select the PATA optical drive, search for something like ... DVD-RAM in those options.

MSI P965 Neo-F + DDRII 800 TwinX (2x512mb) issue

Hi, ive recently built a new system a couple of days ago and im having a few issues with it... i 'presume' it may have something to do with ram/mobo compatability.
Heres my system, no oc'ing:
MSI P965 Neo-F
1Gb (2X512Mb) Corsair TwinX DDR2 PC6400 (800) @ 5-5-5-18 1.85V (mobo default)
480W power supply
The issue seems to be that during boot up the system loads into windows XP then after about 20-30 secs the system will reboot itself for no reason (no event log), then it kinda has a set of mini reboot fits during POST.
After the system has settled down it will boot into windows XP fine and i have no further issues at all... it runs all my games/apps perfectly.
Can anyone shed any more light on this issue ?

first, stop the board from auto-rebooting, by going to Control Panel , System Properties, Advanced, Startup and Recovery, uncheck "Automatically restart". See what the bluescreen error code is. That would help a bit.

Few issues about MSI P965 Neo F

I have recently put together my C2D system. Details are in my sig. I have a few queries related to the mobo. BIOS is already flashed to v1.5.
1. Are P965 and P965 Neo F 2 different boards? Because their pics, specs etc are the same.
2. My 2 optical drives are connected as master/slave to the IDE port while my HDD is SATA. I cant figure out which mode the optical drives are running in. Current transfer mode shows 'Not Applicable' in Device Manager in Windows Control Panel. During boot, both drives show up in DOS screen. How do I get them both to run in UDMA mode?
3. My DVD writer is running slowly while the combo drive runs well.
4. When I install SMART monitoring utilities, they are unable to retrieve any info from my HDD. Why is this so? SMART is enabled in BIOS. I want to monitor my HDD's temp. through Windows.
5. I have installed CoreCentre. Whenever I run it a warning sounds and CPU Fan speed flashes. Speed is shown around 830-840 rpm. Is this enough? If not how do I increase it? My system is running at default speeds. I havent overclocked at all. Fan monitoring is enabled in BIOS.
6. When RAM timings are set to auto in BIOS, Cpu-Z shows 5-5-5-13 latency. But when I manually set the timings to 4-4-4-12 through BIOS, Cpu-Z shows 4-4-4-20 latency! What is going on?
Kindly advise. Thanks!

But that is exactly the problem. I am unable to set the UDMA mode. All IDE channels in BIOS try to detect the hard disks, when actually no hard disk is connected to IDE. HDD is SATA. Optical drives are connected to the solitary IDE port. I have kept all PIO mode and DMA mode settings to AUTO.
Windows is showing my optical drives to be SCSI devices.
Even Sisoft Sandra is showing my optical drives in SCSI devices tab. Following are the details for my dvd writer :

Hi,
yes i do get the green message about the dvd in green color after the memory check(MSI logo)
somthing like ODD0 DVD RW
I will try the second option you recommended,thx alot.
Hello, welcome to forum. if you are planing to update BIOS:
get P965 Neo BIOS ver. 1.6 CD Image (have modded boot record and integrate JMB361 Dos drivers.)
How do i flash it?
Extract image file from archive, and burn it to CD.(example: open it with nero burning rom and burn image file to CD)
Make and ensure PC is stable, then reboot PC and boot from CD. you will need to confirm twice BIOS update when asked.
after BIOS update is complete successfully, power down your PC, remove power cord from the PSU, hit few time power button to drain electrify from capacitors, touch some metal with hands to discharge any ES which you may have, then open the case and Clear CMOS then pull back power cord, and turn on your PC, will be notice CMOS CHEKSUM MISMATCH/ERROR, hit F1 to continue to rebuild DMI Pool Data, then reboot your PC, and enter in BIOS and LOAD BIOS DEFAULT, SAVE AND EXIT, go back to BIOS and apply your customs settings.
if you want to use USB key to flash BIOS, copy AWFL865.EXE & W7235IMS.160 to USB drive, reboot PC and boot from bootable location, (hold "SHIFT" key when starting loading from bootable device to bypass startup files to avoid loading memory managers and other applications) navigate to folder which containt flash program and BIOS file and type from there:
AWFL865.EXE W7235IMS.160 /cks/sn/py/cc/cd/cp/wb/ld/qi/f/e

P965 Neo temp issues

Hi I'm really happy with my board, no problems yet Thankfully, also had a great installation, of windows vista RTM, and windows xp. But the rare issue i have is that my e6400 at stock, speed and with stock hsf, makes like 41c temp. this have been happening with the new 1.6 Bios release. any one have an idea why, and also my is always at low rpm, like 1300 or so, thanks.
and also, why Vcore voltage is so unstable, it move from 1.18 to 132v any ideas.??

I did some thermal throttling tests.
E6400 @ 2.130mhz (stock)
MSI P965 Neo-f (bios 1.6b13)
Speedfan 4.32 Beta 8
Stresstest & Rightmark CPU clock utility from www.rightmark.com i think. if not that try google
At first I tried to set fan running at minimum speed. Well it was cooling too much and I could not hit over 67C.
So I obviously had to disconnect the CPU fan.
After that temperatures started to rise. At 83C thermal throttle started up. I dunno why the hell the threshold is so high, and I dunno if it can be changed with some program, didn't find any settings from rightmark cpu clock utility.
http://koti.mbnet.fi/~prc/temp/TM1.JPG
Picture 2 shows that temp readings are lost while cpu is throttling and stresstest is running. I guess this is because most CPU cycles are used for cooling CPU, not doing much work.
http://koti.mbnet.fi/~prc/temp/TM2.JPG
Well I continued this for a while, what a heck this box has still warranty left
Picture 3 shows that thermal throttle is able to keep Core temps about 82C without fan running. Obviously stresstest + thermal throttle was reason for losing CPU temp readings, as seen in picture 3 temp readings came back after stopping stresstest.
http://koti.mbnet.fi/~prc/temp/TM3.JPG
I killed the stresstest, but left CPU fan disconnected. I can again see the temperatures. Its 82C.
At this point my computer still works without any problems.
Well I connect my CPU fan back. And temps starts to decrease fast, after going below 80C thermal throttle was disabled. It "saved" my CPU. BUT!
Now I get report from windows that my RAID1 device is broken, one of the HDD's goes missing. HMMMM?. (to note im running temporarily software RAID1 on Jmicron connected IDE hdds).
Well I decide to reboot my computer, Windows shutdowns normally. At post first everything seems ok, my SCSI card finds both my HDDs etc etc. Then comes Jmicron's turn to find HDDs, it just freezes there. Hmm interesting, did I broke my mobo??
I try reset button, again same thing.. $hit !!!.
I shutdown the computer, and turn on again and everything works again. OMG
So before someone tells how to set different threshold for cpu throttling it might work, but at least my p965 neo-f doesnt like it. My guess is that the North Bridge is overheating as there is almost no airflow there, without cpu fan running. (There would be airflow from my computer case coolers, but I did it case open, and my fans are attached to the opening side panel, so the werent blowing in the case atm).
But atleast 70-80C should be safe temps for the cpu.

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?

P965 neo-f, DVD-ROM is really slow

Specs:
Intel E6300 Core 2 Duo (no over-clocking)
MSI P965 Neo-f (latest bios, v1.50)
1Gb DDR2 RAM
ATI X800PRO 256mb
160GB HDD
DVD-ROM
I'm having a few problems with this new set up. All optical drives that I have used with this computer are REALLY slow. I'm not exactly sure what is causing this problem but I do know that in the Device Manager this IDE drive is currently in PIO mode and will not change. I have a exact same DVD-Rom in another PC which is running in Ultra DMA 5 mode. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I had exactly the same problem on a friends system I just finished putting together but finally got it working.
On one of the first couple of Windows boots I installed Jmicron "RAID" drivers from the motherboard CD, no I'm not running RAID, basically I had everything set up and going when I noticed DVD installs were taking forever and then realised that any sort of data transfer from optical was taking forever, yep PIO stuck on in device manager.
Reboot, enter bios, under the SATA/RAID PIO and DMA settings in the BIOS change the bottom setting from IDE to Disable, boot to windows.
Obviously anything on IDE are now not working (don't ask me how you get around this if you don't have Windows on SATA ) uninstall Jmicron bizzo from add remove programs, reboot, enter BIOS and switch that setting back to IDE, reboot, Windows should detect and install and everything should be peachy, hope it works for you cause this one had me tearing my hair out

P965 Neo issues with firmware 1.5

Hey peeps,
I flashed my P965 Neo from 1.2 to v1.5 yesterday. Great stuff! Resolved my boot-up issues and memory troubles!
It seemed like the end of my troubles, untill I noticed my RAID disk was missing. I have a Promise SX4-M RAID 5 controller installed, but it isn't showing up during the boot procedure anymore. In my Windows XP the disk is missing as well. The strange part is that my drivers install properly and I can manage my RAID using the Promise Array Managment tool. This way I can verify the RAID card and HD's are working fine.
Can someone explain this to me pls? Thanks.

I think you're mixing my case with another one. I'm not trying to boot from RAID.
Let's recap:
I assembled my system with BIOS version 1.2 installed. This gave my problems with my memory (compatibility issue) so my comp crashed regularly. Also I had a booting problem with my primary hard disk (not RAID). I had to have the Windows XP CD in de CD-ROM or it wouldn't boot from my hard disk. These issues were all resolved by flashing to BIOS 1.5
My current problem is that since the flash to BIOS 1.5 I cannot access my RAID array. During start-up it isn't displayed anymore witch it always did using various previous mobo's and the current mobo running BIOS 1.2 Once Windows starts I can install de drivers of the 'Promise FastTrak S150 SX-4M' RAID card and it is recognized in my system devices. I can also manage the RAID card with the Promise Array Management software that came with the card. I can't however, communicate with the disks attached. When I look at the log of the mangement it shows me read errors on random disks.
What I tried to do to locate and fix the problem:
- Install the RAID in another PC -> It works fine
- Tried playing with different BIOS settings -> didn't work
- Change the slot on the mobo -> didn't work
- Searched for IRQ or DMA conflicts -> found nothing
- Installed my OS with RAID drivers during installation -> didn't work
- Installed my OS with RAID drivers after OS install was complete -> didn't work
- Installed different versions of mobo chipset drivers -> didn't work
- Relayed the problem to Promise -> told me the error codes indicate a read error
- Relayed the problem to MSI customer service -> got config suggestion and advice to go back to BIOS 1.2
- Tried changing the 'option boot ROM' like MSI suggested -> didn't work
- Tried contacting MSI about it again -> no replies
- Trying to wait for new update -> doesn't seem to work...
I can't go back to BIOS 1.2 bacause then my system starts crashing again and I'm stuck with my Win XP CD in the drive the whole time. So as a last resort I turn to you guys to pass this plea through to someone within MSI that can actually help. I've been waiting several weeks on anything indicating that this problem is being handled properly and I'm getting impatient now.

P965 Neo 7325 BIOS update issue

Hello, I'm having a problem updating my bios. I recently upgraded to win 7 64bit home premium and installed 4gb of ram 2x2g corsair xms ddr2 along with the 2x512mb of corsair xms2 ddr2 memory that was already in the pc. My problem started that the bios doesnt recognize all 5gb it on shows 3.25gb. I've tried a few different approaches to the situation nothing has worked. this is how i have the memory seated in the dimm slots cpu> 2gb|512mb|2gb|512mb. I tried to clear cmos still nothing, unchecked the max memory setting in system config. I've tried just using the 4gb and still reads 3.25. So i downloaded the most recent BIOS update tried to update and i get the error saying its not compatible with the version in windows i'm using....Im at a loss and do not know what else to do..any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.??"
Quote
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.

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]:
Code: [Select]
http://rapidshare.com/files/10863989/pc.rar.html

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.
