P965 Neo memory problem

Below are my systems specs. I've just built this machine and have 2GB total of OCX PC6400 Memory and can't get the computer to work with both of them in. I am currently working fine with either of them in Slot 1 but when when do a 1/3 or 2/4 combination with both the computer freezes at the Press Delete for BIOS or Tab for POST screen. Keyboard and all other functions are frozen at this point. I even tried manually changing the DDR memory speed to 4,4,4,15 which is what it says it is but still same issue. I can use either of them in slot 1 and the system is fine, but any combination and it freezes. Any suggestions or help on how I can get this mobo to recognize both my 1Gb sticks of memory?
Windows XP SP2
P965 Neo w/ BIOS v. 1.06.62 (newest one via Live Update)
Intel Pentium D 830 3.0gGHz DT 800FSB Socket 775
OCZ Platinum Rev 2 2048MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz
Ultra 600w X-Finity Power Supply
XFX GeForce 7600 GT XXX 256MB PCIe
WD Caviar 250GB SATA-3G HD 7200/16MB/SATA-3G

Disregard this, I just finished a memtest on the 2nd of my memory sticks and it didnt pass :(
Im assuming that it is the culprite and I'll be sending it back post haste!

MSI p965 NEO boot problems

Hello everyone.
My DVD-rom is installed in IDE, and i have sata HD. My boot device is CD-rom.
OK, so my problem is that i puit windows XP cd in my dvdrom, because i want to install XP. Ok, so firstly my dvd doesnt show up on the IDE listing, they are all 'None', i press F1 to continue, my other option is DELITE to enter bios. Ok, so i get to a screen where my HD shows up, and also my DVD, then i get the option to enter the realtek setup hablahabla shift+f10, and this i dont need. Then i get to another screen it shows all these different things but ends with "Verifying DMI pool data ....." and then i get the msg ITLDR is missing, and i get the option to press CTRL alt delete to reboot.
So plz, how do i fix so that i can fornmate my hd and install windows XP?
thanks //eric karlsson

fendic thanks for your input, its given me some progress i hope.
I did connect it to one of the four ones, not the 1 in other color. Now, this made my HD show up as IDE Secondary Master. Instead of the previous "none", the rest of the IDE on start are still "None". As for my "DVD-ROM", after ive pressed F1 during the first screen, i get on the second one saying 0DD0: Optiarc DVD RW AD-5170A, in green text, which is my DVD-ROM. Now, i think the issue for some reason is that even though i have CDROM as first boot device it still trys to boot it from HD. because when i unplug my HD i can boot XP using my windows XP CD in my DVD ROM. Also, my BiOS is 1.5, im not sure how to flash bios using a floppy or whatever, but i will look into it and ill post if i ever succsed to make my bios 1.6. Oh, and yes im using a SATA HD.
Thanks
Eric Karlsson
EDIT; I flashed bios to 1.6 now, but the problem still remains im affraid. Iv bin doing some lurking about and i cant let go off 1 thing, and its "enable JMicron as IDE". Since my DVD-rom shows in green text druing the JMicron screen.
EDIT2; This is how i flashed, its from a post on tgis forum. I had to unplug my HD to make it boot from the CD-ROM. But after puting the HD back on, it still does not work.
"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."
Check the bold part in the qotation, thats the drivers for JMicron i think, still there is no succses for me.

P965 Neo video problems

So I recently purchased an MSI p965 Neo to replace an old gigabyte board that died last week. I got everything hooked up, plugged everything in, hit the power switch, and everything goes... except the screen stays blank. All my components worked fine on the old motherboard, even threw the video card into my other machine and and runs fine. Is there something that I missed? All help is appreciated.
Specs:
P965 Neo Motherboard
2.5 GB (2 gig set + 512meg stick) Corsair value select
160GB Western Digital HDD
Nvidia 8600 GTS
450watt Power supply

what CPU you have? your spec is not detailed enough. Also need to know your 450W PSU's each current rating. And also your RAM to be exact, is 2Gig set = 2 pieces or 1 piece of DIMM?

K8N Neo Memory problems

I'm having problems with my K8n neo and my Corsair 3200 DDR. The system will boot and run stabaliy with just one stick of 512mb. It doesn't matter which stick I use or which memory slot I use all are stable. However if I try to boot with 2 sticks for a total of 1gb ram, the system will not boot. I just get a long beep from the speaker. I have tried all possible arangements of two sticks in three slotts, but nothing works. I flashed the bios from 1.1 to 1.3 but that didn't help. I tried increaseing mem voltage but that didn't help either
System:
K8N Neo 7030 ver 1
AMD 64 3000+
mem 1) Corsair CMX512-3200PT ver 1.1; 2) Corsair CMX512-3200PT ver 3
P/S Zalman 400W
OS - XP home SP1
The system is not OC at all

According to Corsair, it is not reccommended to mix revisions of the same type memory. It can, and usually does cause instability. If I were you I would either RMA the sticks to Corsair, in hopes of getting two of the same revision, or at the least send RamGuy a message at this forum: Official Corsair memory support forum
I hope you sort things out, and good luck.

P965 Neo sound problem

Well i tried with 3 msi motherboards and the problem is same.
After instalation of windows xp sp1 i instaled sound drivers and they worked fine,but
when i install sp2 or when i install slipstreamd sp2 and only sound drivers there is no sound on green output port.
I tried 5 diferent drivers,million settings everything but i could not resolve problem
Windows detects playing sound in graphic equiliser on media player or winamp but there is no sound on either conector.
Any ideas ....i tried with latest msi and realtek drivers,i flashed bios to last version,i even changed procesor and memory sticks but no results...

check the realtek drivers from this topic:

P965 Neo-F memory problems - bad mobo or something I missed?

I bought a new system the other day, and chose the P965 Neo-F as my motherboard. However, it seems I either have a broken unit or missed something crucial.
The machine originally shipped with a G-Skill 800MHz 2 gig set of the NB series. I spent my first night trying to get Windows installed, only to have it crash repeatedly as it tried to copy kodak_dc.icm and various other files. Always the same ones. I thought my CD was bad, so I dug out a copy of Vista's Beta 2. It also failed on a generic "Failed to copy files" error. I then did what I probably should've done immediately and ran Memtest86+.
Within the first 5% I had about 200 errors, so I figured my RAM was bad. I experimented with various slot combinations, dual channel and otherwise. I discovered that the first stick in the first slot would run Memtest86+ until the cows came home with no problems, everything else caused a huge number of errors sooner or later. Interestingly the other stick on its own in slot one would cause massive amounts of errors within seconds. Sometimes these errors would occur within the first few percentages of the first pass, sometimes at the very end. I experimented by upping the voltage in increments from 1.80 to 2.00 and then lowering the RAM speed to 667MHz. No effect.
I exchanged the RAM at the store, but since they were out of G-Skill I got two sticks of generic TwinMOS 667MHz DDRII. The problems continued. One stick in slot 1 will run all day, Windows installs and runs fine. Any other combination causes huge amounts of errors (my record was 7200 errors at the 67% mark with sticks in slots 1 and 4) and data corruption in Windows.
I just rang up the guys at the store and we agreed that since the system is running fine on one stick, I'll try to debug this thing over the weekend. If I can't come up with anything I'll go and have the motherboard swapped on Monday. So, any ideas on things I could try?

I think at least using ddr2 800mhz had some restrictions on size or something.
Im my self running 2x1gb Kingston Valueram 667mhz no probs. So I would suggest mobo is bad, or you need to get newer bios. My original was 1.5, im using 1.6B9 because of my scsi problems. 1.5 was fine with my memory in dual channel mode.
But to the quality of mobo i think its not ready for shipment yet. I have 3 scsi controllers, where 2 raid controllers isnt working/booting propebly and have performance issues on this mobo, while they work ok with my old a64 system, or my yet older p3 system.

P965 NEO-F Memory Problem

Hi
I have a P965 NEO-F Board with the 1.6f bios and a Pentium D 805.
The problem seems to be my memory (MDT 2x1024 DDR2 800mhz) running in slot 1+3.
I cant get the board to run it at 800mhz. it works without problems at 533mhz. but as soon as i change the bios to 667 or 800 it wont boot and after two restarts it changes back to 533.
I have no issues with stability or anything. both modules ran through memtest with 2+ hours and no problems.
Some images with Everest2007. maybe someone can spot a problem and help me:
and the memory benchmark which i think is way too bad.:
thank you

As I can see everything is recognized correctly in Everest. Also,You have a decent latency,and I can say that because I was running Pentium D [email protected](FSB 800MHz) with this board and as I can remember the latency was around 110ns. I can only advise you to use the Auto adjusting option for the memory frequency and leave the memory timings by SPD.
Cheers

MSI P965 Neo-F reboot problems

Hi,
I have a MSI P965 Neo-F motherboard in my PC, everything works great except for one thing, rebooting.
When i reboot or reset, it shuts down the operating system/BIOS, after that the PC stays on but my screen stays black.
Does anyone know a solution?
Thank you,
ghostrider090
full specs:
Core 2 Duo E6600 (overclocked to 3GHz)
MSI P965 Neo-F
2x Kingston Value Ram PC5300 1GB

Huntkey 450W (modded with coolermaster fan)
Samsung SH-S182D
2x Western Digital Caviar SE 250GB 8MB

I dont know solution ...
i see the problem in mobo or revision of P965 itself ... there is many problems with restarts, reboots, first boot. It depend on version of BIOS you have, but i not found any version which solve this for me ...
i using v1.9 now ... and i have problem with boot after hybernation with vista..
after turning my computer off (in vista is normal to hybernate and shut down) i can boot my computer .. by its very strange. So, power comes up, but then instantly comes Windows Vista with logon screen - NO posting by BIOS, no RAID initial screen, no scaning for hardware... it comes instantly to windows - but windows are in some inconsistent state and i cant login (freeze/BSOD ... but pointer can be moved by mouse and login button shows efect if i move pointer over - so windows are in memory and working) ... in this state is HDD led all time ON (shining) ... i can shut down and boot up again and everything is OK (windows are normaly restored from disk)
with older v1.5 BIOS ... my computer goes to same state like is described here - BLANK ... and BIOS setting was reseted
so and here is one similiar problem

Overclocking problem with P965 NEO

Hi, i actually have a problem with cpu and memory.
my settings are:
MSI P965 NEO
2x 1Gb Gskill DDR2 800Mhz 4-4-3-5 2.0v
Core2duo e6300
zalman 9500CPN
i want to overclock the micro, and set the ram to the proper timigns, if i set all to auto, and the FSB to 300Mhz, the ddr speed raises to 473Mhz, and it's not what i like, i just want to reach a 1:1 FSB ratio and increase only cpu FSB not RAM fsb.
Here i dont have the FSB:DRAM ratio, like i used to have in my asus.
Ok, going to the point, i want to know how to increase cpu fsb and not the ram mhz. and also put the ram to the full spec.
the ram is at AUTO and the speed manually to 667 because the problems i found with CPU-Z.
The SPD reports 400Mhz, 4-4-3-5-24(trc)-2T
Thanks,
Ariel

i want to overclock the cpu without overclocking the ram, is that possible with this motherboard??
for example: 333Mhz cpu and stay at 800Mhz for ram
the cpuz is reading actually 379 (i cant remember the exact value, but is around this) for ram when i have set to manual 667 why this happen??? (the cpu is at 300)
The memory speeds you can select are not absolute but FSB:RAM dividers
533Mhz equals the 1:1 divider
667Mhz equals the 4:5 divider
800Mhz equals the 2:3 divider
This means if you select 667Mhz RAM in bios you don't force 667Mhz but you select a FSB:RAM ratio of 4:5
At stock FSB of 266Mhz this makes : 266 / 4 = 66.5 * 5 = 333 Mhz (666 Mhz DDR) wich is the 667Mhz you select.
However, if you change FSB the RAM speed changes along with it.
So, for your 300Mhz this makes : 300 / 4 = 75 * 5 = 375 Mhz wich is +- the 379 Mhz cpuZ reads.
If you want 333Mhz fsb and ram @ 800 select 667Mhz RAM in bios and set FSB to 333Mhz, also enter RAM timings manually.
This will result in 333 / 4 = 83.25 * 5 = 416 Mhz (832 Mhz DDR) for ram - The gskill should be able to take this mild 32Mhz overclock.
The board might not make it to 333Mhz tho - It's a budget board wich overclocks poorly.

Problems with newly bought p965 neo-f

Hello
Any help would be appreciated.
I just bought a new intel Core-duo CPU and I'm having problems booting and installing XP.
Here's the machine setup
cpu: intel core duo 2.13Mh
board: MSI p965 neo-f
ram: 2x512Mb Mushkin em2 pc2-5300
dvd: samsung on IDE as master
hd: barracuda 7200.10 320Gb on sata3 or 4 ...
- If I install RAM in dual channel 1 and 3, I can't pass through the MSI splashscreen. System frozen.
- If I install RAM in dual channel 2 and 4, I can start xp setup from DVD, but it freezes up at some point (loading primary stuff)
- If I only set a single channel (2), I can get a bit further in the setup process, but I get a failure at some point when copying some files from DVD to HD (never the same file on each try).
Didn't change a thing in the BIOS except the boot order
Any idea anyone?

allright
Got it to work with my friend's RAM: Kingston kvr800, 2x512 Mb
My muchkin RAM on his system seemed to work, although the system didn't seemed to respond well when we ran dxDiag or system properties (it could,nt dusplay memory status, etc)
ALSO, we realized that if I installed the 2x512Mb muchkin RAM as single channel in my system, then it went fine to...
I guess I'm better to ask and exchange the muchkin chips for Kingston

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.

P965 Neo Problem

i bought P965 Neo mobo from a while and was using a 1gb Kit (512X2) kit 667Mhz,
i moving to a higher capacity 2gb Kit (2X1) 667Mhz.
does this board support this bus or not as one of my friends said to me that it does not support it.
i logged to msi website and found this:
Main Memory
• Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 1.8 Volt DDRII SDRAM
• Supports up to 8GB memory size (DDRII 533/667).
• Supports up to 4GB memory size (DDRII 800).
• Supports dual channel DDRII memory architecture.
• Supports DDRII 533/667/800 memory interface
does this mean that the board does not support (2X1gb) at 667Mhz, and i should use a 800Mhz ram.
what about using a 2gb ram or 2X2gb does it support 667Mhz or not.
i have another problem with Core Center
whenever i start an application (Medal of Honor Airborne) or the system is under load the corecenter gives an error and the alarm start.
i'm not sure what is the cause but on the right side of the corecenter i got these readings
Vcore: 1.23v (its normal)
3.3V: 3.50v (its normal)
+5V: 5.64v (flash red) -the average reading for it to give error is above 5.6v-
+12V: 12.32v (its normal)
i'll try to post a photo to corecenter when alarm flashes.
anyone could help me with these issues could the battery is the cause or what.
thanks for ur help

Quote from: marwan on 14-October-07, 19:48:21
thanx for ur answer.
i'm using Core Center not Dual Core Center, is there any difference between them.
does my board support Dual Core Center or not and if i uninstall it what prog should i use to monitor my fan speed and cpu temp.
Corecenter is an old version of the application whereas Dual CC actually have native support for C2Ds system.
Likewise jabiru mentioned, speedfan is a good alternative.
I've been using it for years and find it pretty handy.

(P965 Neo) Problem booting WM 500GB SATA drive

Hi guys,
I've just finished putting together my first custom built system.
Pentium D 3.4ghz, in a P965 Neo board.
I've connected a WD 500GB SATA drive to SATA1 port on the board.
I used the IDE cable to connect 2 CD/DVD Drives.
I have installed all the drivers on the cd aswell as the online update software.
The problem I am having is that as soon as the system starts to load, the initial page (after calculating the memory) says that it is unable to find any IDE drives.
It then askes me to press F1 if i want to continue or DEL for setup.
HOWEVER if I press F1 and do continue the bootup, it first loads a jmicron technology boot screen, which does show both the sata harddrive + both the CD/DVD drives.
Then loads up windows normally??
This is my first experience with SATA drive, so I tried to look at the bio to see if there was maybe a special setting I'm meant to set if I am only using a single sata drive as my primary drive??
Its rather annoying to say the least having to basically (with every boot) press F1 first, then Enter to skip the JTechnology bit to load windows. For the time being I have disabled the halt on error bit (found in bios) and lowered the Jtechnolgy bit to 1second showing. But I feel this problem may lead to others.
Any help would really be appreciated.

BIOS will be able to detect IDE device only if you connect your hard drive to one of the Intel's SATA ports(2-5).As you were told,the first SATA port is controlled by Jmicron.That's why if you connect the hard drive to this port, it will be shown in the Jmicron BIOS, and not in the main BIOS that contains only devices that are controlled by Intel southbridge. But,nothing to worry about. I'm using the Jmicron port for my Hard drive too, and lot of the people will be surprised if they know that when using this controller(not Intel's), you are getting a better burst rate for your Hard drive(250 MB/s when connected on Jmicron, 197MB/s when connected on Intel).
So,just install a proper driver for Jmicron,and nothing to worry about.

Dual Channel memory problems on Neo 875P

I am having considerable trouble getting the NEO 875P to work with dual channel DDR400 DIMMs. I have two Kingston KVR400X64C25 DDR400 256MB memory modules, each of which works correctly by itself. However, once I move one
of the modules to channel B, I cannot boot my operating system (currently Windows XP.) The problem also occurs in Windows 2000, which I also have on the system. I receive blue screen errors that indicate paging/memory problems. I have upgraded my BIOS to the latest version (1.3)* in the hope that it would solve my problems, but it has not. The POST screen detects that there is 512MB of memory working in Dual Channel mode, but even when it does get through the O/S booting process (rarely), it crashes within minutes. Putting just one of the chips in makes the system perfectly stable. If anyone has any information, please let me know!
Thanks,
Jim Keller

* My board was dead after trying to flash the 1.3 BIOS, but after about 10 attempts of using CTRL+HOME method to recover the BIOS, it finally worked with version 1.0. I then re-flashed with 1.3, and it rebooted fine. Are there any updates about all of the problems with v1.3 ?

>I can only answer based on what I've read on this forum
I figured as much, I was just wondering if you knew whether MSI themselves frequents the forums or answers emails sufficiently.
I've had an interesting development though. I stumbled upon Tom's Hardware Guide's article about 875P motherboards at http://www17.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20030519/i875p-01.html
They mentioned that they needed to increase the memory voltage from 2.5 to 2.6 in the BIOS to get some memory modules to work. I did this, and for the first time, I am running in Dual channel DDR mode. However, the article also mentions that "the system does not run completely stably", so I guess I'll have to wait and see if it crashes again. However, I'm far enough beyond the XP splash screen to post this message, so I guess we're getting somewhere!

875P NEO-FIS2R no boot with memory problems

I just got a NEO FIS2R board, a P4 2.6C, and two 512MB sticks of OCZ PC3200 Premier DDR. I installed the board and connected only my hard drive, video card (GeForce4 Ti4200), both sticks of memory, and CPU (on a 300W PSU). At first, the board would eventually make it to the "booting OS" stage, after spending a little time on "initializing video" (normal) and "assigning ISA" or something like that (don't know what that is, since the board has no ISA slot). Unfortunately, although my monitor's light changed from yellow to green, meaning it was getting a signal, the screen remained blank. I gave it a few minutes and finally turned off the computer. After reseating the video card and memory and disconnecting the hard drive, the same problem occurred. Finally, I took out one of the sticks. After this, the computer hung on that ISA thing for about ten seconds, and then went back to "detecting memory" and gave a 2-1 error beep. I switched between the two OCZ sticks and also two sticks slow generic PC2100 memory that I had in my old computer and I know work fine. Eventually the computer stopped pausing at the ISA stage and went to the memory detection after only a second or so. Since the video was obviously acting strange, I disconnected the video card so the computer contained only CPU and memory. The bootup sequence was the same, except that in place of the single beep during video intialization, it gave me a 2-8 error code. Finally, I took the board out of my case and laid it flat on the wooden table and tried again. Still no boot. I also cleared CMOS several times throughout this procedure, so that shouldn't be the problem.
Can anyone figure out what's going on here? It's especially confusing to me that the computer booted all the way (sans video) at first, then started having memory problems, and that the system passes the initial memory test but then goes back to it after that ISA thing (this is all according to the D-Bracket).

On the compatability list, it says
"Kingston KVR400X64C25/512
W942508BH-5 (Winbond)"
Since the memory I am looking at is CL2, does that mean it might not be compatible after all?
If you're wondering whether the Kingston HyperX RAM you're looking at is the same as the Kingston RAM you've found on the compatibililty list, the answer is NO. The RAM from the list that you're referring to has a model number that starts with "KVR", which stands for "Kingston Value RAM". HyperX RAM has model numbers that start with the letters "KHX".
You might also note that there is no listing for any of the HyperX stuff on that compatibility chart. However, I have seen posts from several people on this forum who seem to be using HyperX RAM with no problem. I suspect that MSI hasn't updated that list in awhile, because there are no listings for many of the newer PC 3500, 3700, and 4000 RAM models.
I personally went 512mb (2x256) of OCZ PC3200EL DDR RAM, it is listed as 'OCZ (PN- OCZ400256EL ) PN- OCZ400256EL' on the compatibility chart. I had plenty of problems trying to run a set of Corsair TwinX 3200PCT ver. 1.2 on my 875P NEO board, and I settled them by switching over to the OCZ RAM only because it was listed. While it wasn't my first choice I'm pretty happy with it because so far it's been running stable at CAS 2,2,3,6, with the voltage at 2.65.
