P965 Neo-F and GeForce 7900GS problem

Hey there,
I have been suffering a lot from my own-built computer, whose configuraions are:
MSI P965 Neo-F bios 1.60
C2D E6300 1.86G intel
MSI Geforce 7900GS 256M Video Card
2x1G Kingston DDR2 667
Antec 400W PSU
WD 250G SATA II Hardrive
1. In windows XP pro, ALL 3D games share the same problem. display flickers, kindda distortion of the 3D model, 2-D Text in the game shakes, unstable, but game could be going on without freaking out.
2. In Windows Vista Ultimate, Screen goes black and then a message out " Display driver stopped responding and has been recovered", happens very often. and 3D gaming in Vista is totally a nightmare, screen freezed and computer stopped responding almost every time once I runs 3D games.
Somebody told me it is overheated of my system, so I added two fans. The temperatures of CPU and GPU are normally around 30C and 50C which should be fine, I guess. However, problems still kicking my ass.
Is my PSU 400W Antec powerful enough? the minimum requirement of Video Card is 400W.
Would you guys please help me?? I was driven crazy by this unstable issues.

thanks for all your guys' replies.
So far, I have tested 3 Video cards and same problem, so it is not the video card.
I changed 2 PSUs, same problem.
I have tried to cool down the system by all means, and I believe it is not overheated.
I tested two RAM sticks individually, and found that if I used only one of them, no problem.
Therefore, I would say, one memory stick is defective and is repsonsible for the unstablity.

MSI P965 Neo-F and a other problem!

Hi alls!
I have a problem with my MSI P965 Neo-F.In fact when i push the power button i have to wait 5-6 secondes for my pc turn on...
I have the same problem that Er.nest:https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=107722.0 (problem number 5)
My PSU is a Seasonic S12 II 500 W
My config is :
Core 2 Duo 6600 @ 2.40Ghz
2 Gb RAM DDR 667 Mhz Corsair(5-5-5-15 @1.85V)
ATI HD 2900 XT 512 Mb
HD Seagate 320 Gb
Thanks...

ok v1.10 .. so we have same version now.. (maybe it will help us to find somthing helpful)
So (i dont know if you know somthing about..let me to refresh about S3).. S3 is one of two most used sleep modes. S3 (STR) - Save to RAM. It save whole your session to RAM, clear the CPU registrers and turn of all devices in computer one by one... only matherboard is powered by minumal voltage of 5V. This is used to refreshing o RAM and keep content "inside". In this state is consuption of computer avg. 4-6W (...PSU). Ok, my problem is ...
When i want to wake my computer up (a do it by pushin power button) ... somthing (and i dont know which part of my machine).. cause frozen of whole machine. Sometimes i get Windows Vista login window (loggin button fully response to mouse move over), if i want to login windows fall into BSOD or all freeze... somtimes i get only black screen.
So .. it seems to be little bit different problem but we both have problems with some kind of turning on...please, try to describe more about your problem. Espesialy informations about other behavior...
for example ... if you using hybernation (possibly S3), if you turning your computer normal by windows option "turn off", if your problems dissapear when you discharge mobo from static charge (disconect power cord, and push power button), if you have other problem with restarts...
i have same problem like you before i come to v1.9 and higher ... so, maybe its only in some setting i made insensible

Msi p965 neo-f and geforce 9600gt

I've got question.
When I look at the spec from my new xfx geforce 9600gt xxx card I see PCIe x16 2.0
Will this card work on my motherboard ? because when I look at the spec of my board I can see that there is 1 PCIe x16 slot and no 2.0
Will it work?

check Amperage on +12V rails (you sum up 2 rails)
Simply adding the amperage values if there are multiple +12V rails is not the right approach to determine the maximal amperage limits for all +12V rails. You cannot simply sum up the two rails. On many PSUs, the combined amperage limit is significantly lower than the sum of the individual rails. Look at this example for instance:
If you add the amperage values on both rails together, you get 34A. However, the limit for both +12V rails (as stated on the PSU sticker) is 250W which can be broken down to 250W / 12V ~ 20.8A. So what we have here is a 20.8A limit on a +12V rail that is split into two individual rails that each have their own amperage limit. You can put 16A or 18A load on the individual rails, but not more that ~20A combined load on both. That means that if the system draws 15A from one of the rails, only ~5A are left for the other one.

He did not mention which model he is referring to, so I am not sure if I checked the correct specs. Here is a link to the Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 400W (RS-400-PCAR/PCAP-A3) for comparison:
http://www.coolermaster.com/products/product.php?language=en&act=detail&tbcate=22&id=3765
As you can see, we have two +12V rails (16A/18A) and a combined limit aif 280W [280W / 12V ~ 23A] ... not 16A + 18A = 34A(!). Of course 23A could be be enough to power a core 2 duo and a 9600GT but we are most probably approaching the limit of the PSU here. He did not mention the number of optical drives, hard drives and fans connected to the system. Each of these devices is powered by the +12V rails as well and will have their share of resources.

P965 Neo-F and Core 2 Duo E6750 ... #@?!

So this topic is about combination MSI P965 Neo-F and Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 processor ...
question is ... is this combination possible ?
... its possible to BIOS 1.10 has support for E6750 ?
... ... its possible to eat bannana each day without consequences ?

hmm :-( so ... thank you for answers
what i can say now ... i made my own research
NovJoe: .. P965 Neo-F ... no P965 Neo-F V2 ...
Maesus: i trying to be friendly to each user here ... but i can be little bit sarcastic when i talking about P965 Neo-F, because this mobo is simply not well designed (i have almost one year experience with this mobo ... please accept it ... i am serious and not angry, hostile or "firebrandy")
Quote from: Maesus on 31-July-07, 13:28:00
The answer is NO. Does NOT support.
OK, thanks for link ... i see this before of course ... and look at right top corner - there is "Since BIOS Version 1.9". So we can click to BIOS tab on this site and we will see this "Version 1.10 Update Date 2007-07-05"...
(i hope you see the diference...i really asking for somthing for what i not found answer in this forum or old MSI papers)
So its on me to explain why i opened this thread ... there is place for others who HAVE this mobo and tryed BIOS v1.10 (and newer versions in future) and has any experience with this etc etc.. or directly with E6750 (or simply 1333Mhz cpus). Without rant... without voodoo...
RemusM: Many thanks to you for not attacking me ... again and again i found your replies verry useful a serious (and with sense for humor... good thing i mean)
to your answer ... ok. I know that owners of this board have problem to reach 333Mhz on FSB (base frequency - needed to 1333Mhz cpus) and 1333Mhz is not supported (like in cases of many other boards .. for example Neo-F Platinum).
P965 Platinum is able to run this processor ..
Neo-F V2, Neo2 ...(sometime also called Neo-FI, Neo2-F V2, Neo2-FI etc etc) ... are also now able to run with E6750
And this mobos aren't originaly designed for this purposes...
... now, do you see what i mean? ... its about future support ...
will have this mobo in future support for 1333Mhz ? It is possible ?
but i have bad feeling that this mobo is mistake and MSI know it (Neo2 is proof for me) ... and support will silently die ...

MSI P965 NEO-F and power supplys

Hello, I just bought the MSI P965 NEO-F and Cooler Master iGreen 500W but when, after I unpacked it all and was about to start building, I discovered that in the manual, under the power supply tab, it says that this moderboard requires a power supply that comes with a -5V pin supply. I didn't see that when I looked in the online manual.
However, when I looked in the PSU manual I saw that there should be a -5V pin in pinnr. 20 on the ATX connector. So I was relieved. But when I looked at the ATX connector there was an empty hole where pinnr. 20 were supposed to be. Does that mean that I can't use the power supply with this moderboard?

hmm...you could replace your brand new PSU with another PSU? i don't know in your country, but here, we're allowed to replace bought items (no refund though, just replace) to another item of equal or higher value (but add money for higher value, of course )
i'm using the Hec Winpower 550W PSU on that same motherboard, and is working fine for me.
otherwise, you could go to your local PC store and have them plug everything for you? (here it costs around US $6 to ask someone to assemble everything)

P965 Neo: Boot from USB-Stick problem

Hi!
I have a problem with booting from a USB-Stick (FAT) with the P965 Neo board, Bios Version 1.5.
The USB-Stick will not be detected properly as a boot device (HDD) in the bios setup. It appeared only
once at the 'Hard Disk Boot Priority' list and sporadically at the 'CD-ROM Boot Priority' list (which is not always there).
Can anyone please point me to the correct bios setting to boot properly from the USB Stick?
(Booting from the USB Stick works fine on a ASUS board, so the USB Stick itself is bootable).
Here is my attached hardware:
SATA Harddrive
IDE DVD Burner
(both connected to the JMicron SATA/IDE controller)
thanks,
-phazer-

I use software called "Flashboot" to format my USB Stick, this software has options to format USB stick as USB-FDD, USB-ZIP or USB-HDD. You can use built in Free-DOS as your USB Stick OS. I have formated it as USB-ZIP and set my BIOS to boot with USB-ZIP and i didn't have any problems. Try this software it's very simple to use and user friendly. Only problem is that is not freeware so if you use trial version you can boot only once and after that you must format it again.

MSI P965 Neo-F and Terabyte HDD

MSI P965 Neo-F V2 Random Rebooting problem - HELP!

Hi guys, first post by me
I've got a problem with my motherboard and have done for a couple of months and it still hasn't improved.
Current system specs:
Intel Celeron D 3.06GHz
Nvidia GeForce 8600GT
1GB Kingston DDR2 RAM (I have tried other sticks in it, all of which have rendered the same result)
1 x Seagate 80GB Hard Drive (Checked for bad sectors - returned 0 bad sectors)
1 x Hitachi 1TB Hard Drive (Also been checked for bad sectors - returned 0 bad sectors)
600W Power Supply (Also tried a brand new 650W power supply but no difference).
The system (being used as a server) seems to reboot randomly with no entry in any system logs. The system will boot fine after it and then reboot to a BSOD randomly:
Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Stop: 0x000000D1 (0x00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).
All drivers have been updated
BIOS is up to date.
I've also tried clean installs of Windows Server 2008 and R2 but to no avail of the problem.
I have also checked all of the connections in the server and they all are seated properly.
I have also 'repasted' the CPU and GPU to see if it makes a difference - nope.
Seems weird that it used to be perfectly fine and run 24/7 without any problems and now this problem is occuring
Any ideas guys?

I've managed to get this out of it (I hope it helps - the process reading a dump file is really silly - all the downloads!)

It is a special order. Meaning it will take up to 4 weeks to arrive. SOB.
I know i am annoying but i am terribly sorry. Can there be other choices such as different brands or the one priced at 229.99?
Thanks
"I know i am annoying but i am terribly sorry."
you are welcome mate.
for 229.99 nop :D but for 229.95 yes this one my second choice: http://www.memoryexpress.com/index.php?PageTag=&page=file&memx_menu=EmbedProductDetail.php&DisplayProductID=8182&SID=

MSI P965 Neo-F and Voltage

Hello
I'm french and i need help about my mainboard:MSI P965 Neo-F!
On Speed Fan i can see for the V-Core Value :1.42 v...
But my CPU (Core 2 Duo 6600 @2.40 Ghz) burn so much i want to change the v-core from 1.40 to 1.3V...
But on the bios (1.10 version of 5 July 2007) i don't see any maner to change the v-core value...
Can you help me please?
Thanks

As we already said, your Board does not have a VCore option in BIOS. Therefore it is very unlikely that you will be able to change the Core Voltage using software.
However, you may want to try your luck with one of the following utilitys:
http://cpu.rightmark.org/products/rmclock.shtml
http://www.cpuid.com/clockgen.php#about
I seriously doubt that they will help you. I have seen many users asking for ways to change the core voltage on this mainboard in different forums. Until now I do not remember any positive response to this question.
When I look at my VCore values @346 MHz FSB with C1E-Support enabled and VCore set to "Auto" in BIOS, I get numbers between 1.144V (IDLE) and 1.24V (LOAD). I am not sure if there is anything wrong with your CPU and/or board or not, but as long as your core temps stay below 60°C your are on the safe side.
You may try the following if you want:
- disconnect main A/C power cable from PSU
- hit the power-on button a few times to drain capacitors
- press the Clear CMOS button for 3 seconds
After that re-connect PSU, start your system, enter BIOS and load optimized defaults. Go through your BIOS settings and make sure they match your system configuration before your save and exit.
Check with CPU-Z again and see if there are any changes.

Problem with 848p NEO V and GeForce FX 5600 point of View

Hello there,
I have bought a mobo yesterday (848p NEO V) then when I tried to plug the graphic card (Ge Force FX 5600 point of view) the computer reboots just before entering Win XP PRO.
So I tried another graphic card (ATI 9200), all worked fine.
In the same way, I tried my GeForce in another mobo (ECS P4VXAS) and of course all worked fine.
Each time I tried the MSI mobo with the GeForce card (using diffrents drivers), it doesn't work.
Does someone know where could this problem come from?
Thank you very much
PS: Sorry for my ugly english.

MOBO: MSI 848p NEO V

K8n neo Platinum and Optical Drive problem?

I need some help figuring this out. I've been searching for awhile but can't find any more information so I figured I'd ask here.
I have a Lite on LDW 411s dvd writer that is on the same ide channel as a lite on dvd player (labled as JLMS SJ-HD1665 in the device manager.
The problem is on the 411S where it will read the DVD/CD disk but when I try to use Cyberlink PowerDVD or Nero Recode to play or read the DVD it will just hang. If I don't try to play these files and just open them in explorer then I can access them.
I'm trying to see if there are some conflict issues with the nforce drivers but am still looking.
My setup is this.
AMD 64 3000+
K8n Neo Platinum nforce 3 250 Bios 1.4
Western Digital 120 gb hd
PQI 3200 1 gig memory
PNY 6800 GT
Audigy 2
Antec Trupower 420
Any help would be great as I'm totally stuck. Thanks.
Also to note I can play DVDs and use recode fine off the DVD rom drive but just not off the DVD writer (411s).

You might have better luck making the reader the slave on the channel your HD is on. I had both a burner/writer on the same channel and while it worked, the performance was very poor.
Man, I need to get around to posting my specs someday, but I have the same MB and BIOS as you. I'm also using the nForce unified drivers including IDE.

K8N Neo Platinum and Maxtor HD problem

I have a K8N Neo Platinum MB with the v1.3 Bios installed.
I have 2 physical HDs:
IDE Primary Master: 120G Western Digital WD1200JB (7200RPM)
IDE Primary Slave: 120G Maxtor 6Y120L0 (7200RPM)
The MB sees both drives in the BIOS, however, in Windows XP, I only see the master drive. The slave drive is not recognized within windows. I tried finding the slave drive with the MS Computer Management application and PartitionMagic as well - neither can see the slave drive.
There is something strange about the BIOS screen.
You can see that the primary master is highlighted (in red). The primary slave drive is visibly but it's not showing properly. You can see that the name of the slave drive is all the way to the left and the "]" character is all the way on right panel, next to "Press [Enter]". The name of the slave drive is wrong. The BIOS is showing something garbled. It looks something like "8t/r 6!128". It's tottaly confused :(
I can even select the primary slave drive:
That's not right!
Pressing enter on the slave drive shows the slave drive (Maxtor 120G) properies:
However, Windows XP will not recognize the slave drive.
I ain't sure what wrong but it appears to be a BIOS problem - why would the BIOS display be so messed up like that ??
I'm not sure what to do. :(

Yea, I'm really mad because not only will this board not recognize my slave driver properly, it may have also killed my X800 Pro video card
I moved my working X800 Pro video card from my old MB to my new one and when I turned it on, the X800 Pro was dead.
I then reinstalled my old MB, hoping it was merely a faulty MB that was the problem, however, my X800 Pro is quite dead now
I'm not sure if it was me who damaged the X800 Pro or it was the MSI K8N motherboard - either way it's dead
My experence so far with my new MSI MB has been horrible !!

K8n neo platinum and hard drive problem...

greetings...
well, I have K8n neo platinum mobo with SATA1 controller, and I bought WD 250 GB sata2. I did set up jumper to limit transfer to SATA1 mode on my new drive (although I tried it without jumper, it is the same). Hard disk is working but, I have varying trasfer rate when I copy files from WD250 on other drives, and when copying on that drive. Transfer is going fine, and then it goes very very slow, then again fast, then again slow...And, sometimes, when I am copying large amount of data on that drive, my computer freezes. When I test sustained speed, it is different almost every time (goes from 14 to 65)...
I searched thru internet - with no sucess. I have very good power for my PC. I changed sata cables, and power cables. I updated all drivers. I tried installing XP IDE drivers for that new SATA2 hard disk. I tried almost everything, and with no sucess. WD250 is working fine for, let's say, a couple of hours, and then it again goes slow with varying transfer rate when copying. I also have a very good cooling system, so it's not because of overheating. I contacted WD, they told me to run their diagnostic tool, and the disk was healthy. They said that drive is ok then, and that it is probably my mobo that is causing problems.
anyone have a clue what is going on?
thanx in advance

damn...
can't believe no one ever had similar problem...

K8n neo 3 and radeon 9600pro problem !

ok have anyone have the same problem with radeon 9600pro like me. the card is agp slot and when starting the computer the screen doesent react at all its stay blank. but when putting the radeon 8500 it starts if anyone could say where is the click.... thanks
the mainboard is k8n neo 3 gold

Quote
Make sure in the BIOS it is set to run from AGP, if there is that option.
the bios itself detects if you use a pci express or agp card in the AGR slot, you cant configure it.
Quote
There have been some issues with the 9600 series and 8X agp / agp fast writes.
Try forcing 4X agp and turning off agp fast writes in bios to see if it at least boots for you.
there are no settings like fastwrites or AGP mode. the AGR slot only works with cards which are compatible.
have a look http://www.msi.com.tw/html/products/mainboard/agr/7135agr.pdf
i had luck my card works and is not on this list
