People with msi neo 2 mobo's and audigy 2 cards please read

I was wondering what pci slot you have your sound card in as mine is in the orange slot and have noticed pauses in games for no reason. The on board ethernet is sharing the same irq as the gfx card within windows and was wondering if i moved the sound card to another slot it may free up an irq for the ethernet. Or am i wrong, does it share with the agp anyway?

Even though mine is Neo Vanilla, the IRQ landscape shouldn't be that much different. With the nForce chipset, slot 3 has always been the sweetspot.
Just putting it in any slot is asking for trouble. What you need to be looking at is IRQ allocation in either the Device Manager, or System Info.
That will give you a good idea what is going on.
For instance, here's mine...
IRQ 0   System timer   OK
IRQ 1   Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard   OK
IRQ 4   Communications Port (COM1)   OK
IRQ 5   WinFast TV2000 XP WDM Audio Capture   OK
IRQ 6   Standard floppy disk controller   OK
IRQ 8   System CMOS/real time clock   OK
IRQ 9   Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System   OK
IRQ 11   NVIDIA nForce PCI System Management   OK
IRQ 12   PS/2 Compatible Mouse   OK
IRQ 13   Numeric data processor   OK
IRQ 14   Primary IDE Channel   OK
IRQ 15   Secondary IDE Channel   OK
IRQ 16   RADEON X800 XT Platinum Edition   OK
IRQ 17   WinFast TV2000 XP WDM Video Capture   OK
IRQ 18   Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS (WDM)   OK
IRQ 19   OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller   OK
IRQ 20   Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller   OK
IRQ 21   NVIDIA Network Bus Enumerator   OK
IRQ 22   Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller   OK
IRQ 23   Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller   OK
If you have anything sharing then you have a "Less than Optimal" configuration. If you haven't had problems, great! Creatives drivers have actually improved, as has the hardware these days in being more tolerant of the many configurations that can take place, but you are asking for problems or selling your system short as far as optimal performance goes if you have a sharing situation.

Problem with MSI GTX 960 GAMAING 4G graphics card - Please help

So I just bought an MSI GTX 960 GAMING 4G graphics card. My problem is that it seems to randomly decide when it wants to run fine at 1215 MHz, and when it wants to downclock to around 135 MHz. Today for example, I was playing Witcher 3: Game was running fine (~55 FPS) for a few hours because the card was performing at maximum. Then, out of nowehere, I dropped to about 4 FPS. I checked Afterburner, and the core clock went down to 135 MHz, while I was still in game. The card is not overheating during gaming. I have the fans set to 35% speed at all times and the GPU never got hotter than about 50c.
I have the latest nVidia drivers installed. I even tried an earlier set of nVidia drivers and the same things happened. Also yes, it is firmly seated in the PCI-E slot and yes, the power cable is firmly plugged in.
PC Specs:
Intel Core i5 Devils Canyon
Gigabyte GA-Z97N-WIFI mobo
GSkill Sniper 16GB RAM
MSI GTX 960 GAMING 4G graphics card
Antec EDGE 550w PSU
I understand these newer graphics cards have power saving settings built in, but I have my nVidia control panel settings to "Prefer maximum performance" and it doesn't seem to help. It seems my card is putting itself into power saver mode at will. I suppose my PSU could be the culprit even though the recommended PSU is only 400w, and I have 550w. Any ideas?

So it turns out I wasn't running the latest BIOS for my motherboard. I updated my BIOS and cleared CMOS. Everything was running fine for a couple hours. I was playing Witcher 3 at full clock and memory speed. GPU temp was hovering around 62 deg c at 60 FPS. Then after a couple hours, the game crashed. Rebooted my computer, and now I am back to the same issue where the card won't run at full speed in a 3D application. Even ran the Valley benchmark tool again and the card didn't increase speed to compensate.
Do I have a defective card? If so I will get it replaced from Newegg.
Also I don't know if I am running the latest vbios. GPU-Z says I have 84.06.14.00.F3
If there is a newer vbios, I can try to update and see if that does anything. I will try anything before returning this to Newegg. My old video card bit the dust and artifacts everywhere, so I don't have a temp replacement.

Problems with MSI Web Live updater and Downloadable updater

First off im new and second im sorry if this is the wrong spot.
Ok i did a reinstall of windows Xp updated with Microsoft's updater all the way up to SP2. In the past i had no problems at all with the MSI Updater. Now i have problems :( Please read below.
Hi i would like to know if anyone else has this problem;
I try to use the Web Browser version of the MSI Updater,well while its trying to scan it will say "Error" "service not started" about 4 or 5 times.
When i use the Downloadable version of the MSI Updater it crashes when its scanning and my computer will reboot till i go into safe mode and uninstall it.
Im going to be getting this Motherboard soon http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130136 I'm not sure if i want to if the MSI updater will no longer work. I have always depended on the Updater for my drivers cause i'm not the most tech savvy person in the world plus its very convenient to have all the drivers in one spot.
if this updater continues to not work im not sure where i can get the drivers. I dont want to get the wrong drivers and by mistake kill my board cause i flashed my board with the wrong drivers. if its not fixed i may not get anymore MSI boards :(
So does MSI realize that they killed there updater? i mean it worked fine in the past but now its a piece of junk :(
Please help.
P.S. Im not trying to be mean or flame im just frusterated :(

1st we are talking about drivers here... not BIOS.
You shall not update your BIOS without very good reason, read here ==> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=103441.0
"i have MS-6712 those BIOS updates don't work and even at the bottom of them it says "this bios can not be used with MS-6712"
Yes because there are several mainboard MS-6712.
"This BIOS cannot be used on KT4V (MS-6712) & KT3V (MS-6712)"
That's correct your mainboard is KT4AV {also MS-6712, but use different BIOS. That's why is that warning notice.}
"So now that we know those BIOS updates don't work are you still sure those are the right updates for my board? Please make 100% sure."
Yes they are correct if you really have KT4AV.
Leave BIOS alone.
If you want to update your BIOS and need help with BIOS update, read here 1st ===> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=113146.0
and provide information about current BIOS version onboard. You may have an OEM mainboard.

Just bought Adobe Photoshop Ps , clicked on the icon in my Mac dock and am staring at a black page with a perimeter of symbols and a heading that reads "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014. I don't have a clue what I do next. I would like to transfer some photos from my iPhoto library. Where do I start?

Photoshop does not transfer files nor import files. It can open files from any place that finder can access for files.
This is the normal process:
You need to log into https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/catalog/desktop.html Download Center
Select the app you would like to start with
The Creative Cloud manager will install first.
When done installing, the Creative cloud (adobe manager) should open in the middle of your screen.
If no apps automatically start installing then click on Apps
Scroll down to the app you want to install and click the install button
Once the manager says it is done, you can start your app like you normally do with any other app.

when I use voice over to read an epub in my Ibooks app, which is in Dutch, sometimes he start reading a book with an English Female voice and some books he reads with the Dutch male voice (which is good). All my epubs are Dutch books so the English voice sound terrible trying to pronounce Dutch. Can i fix this problem? Thanks, Tom

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

How do I add text boxes that people can edit font type, size, and color in Adobe Reader? I am using Acrobat Pro XI.

It is possible. Add your text fields and in their Properties set them to have Rich Text Contents (under Options). This will allow the users to specify all kinds of formatting settings for those fields (by pressing Ctrl+E and using the Properties bar).

Registry/boot problem with K8T Neo mobo (solved)

I got similar problem: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=40752&sid=
Though my error message is: "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM"
I did NOT have this problem before i enabled the Realtek gigabit ethernet controller in BIOS.. But now when it is enabled everything runs/installs/reboots fine... until i shut down and when i turn power on next day i get that error message.
So: when Realtek 8169/8110 gigabit ethernet NIC is enabled in BIOS, necessary drivers installed and system shut down, registry get corrupted while shutting down.
I had AMI BIOS 1.1 when got this first time (after enabling realtek), flashing to 1.2 didn't help.
I also tried newest realtek 8169/8110 drivers (5.611.1231.2003) instead of original (5.606.811.2003)(they're still in msi neo-fis2r page i see) but it didn't help either.
So, any suggestions? i believe the integrated realtek causes the problem because it didn't occur before i enabled it from bios->integrated stuff... or is there any other possible reason?
oh, msinfo32 says that radeon 9800XT, IEEE1394 controller (firewire in audigy2) and realtek controller share the same IRQ 16.. i removed firewire controller but it didn't help.. could radeon and realtek sharing the same IRQ be the problem?

Didn't try the external yet, i'll still try something with this.
:: Do you have a home network setup, or connect straight to modem?
straight to modem.
i doubt it is the audigy, it worked before... and i've disabled everything i don't need like onboard audio, onboard 1394.. (never installed 'em)
i noticed one thing: all people with similar problems are running win2000 SP4, you run XP so it's ok.
MS knowledge base says "If one or two registry hives consistently become corrupted for no reason, the problem probably occurs at shutdown and is not discovered until you try to load the registry hive at the next restart. In this scenario, the registry hive is written to disk when you shut down the computer, and this process may stop the computer or a component in the computer before the writing is completed." http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822705
so something (realtek?) is writing to the registry while i shut down the pc.
i'm gonna disable realtek before shutdown & see if it boots without errors... if it does, i'll just have to disable it *always* before shutdown.... sounds like driver error for me?

Reboot problem with MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and 250 GB SATA HDD

I'm having a "reboot" problem with my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum. After turning my system on it will run without any problems, until I reboot. After a reboot it will always hang after the initial windows-bootscreen. The HDD-light will remain on. If, instead of going into Windows XP SP2, I try to enter the BIOS after a reboot (DEL) the system will also hang (blank screen with blinking cursor).
It started doing this after I installed the Maxtor 250 GB SATA disk. Before, I didn't have problems rebooting. If I disconnect the Maxtor drive I can reboot and enter BIOS and Windows each and every time. Reconnecting the Maxtor 250 GB SATA drive will return the reboot problem. I always have to use the power swith to get a working system again. It's not enough to do a hard reset (this has the same effect as rebooting).
Here are the details of my system:
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (BIOS 1.B)
Athlon 64 3200+ (Winchester, 2 Ghz, 512 KB cache, stepping DH-D0)
2 x Kingston KVR400X64C25/512, 512 MB, DDR, PC3200 (2,5-3-3-8 T1)
Asus Radeon AX800 Pro (256 MB)
PSU Antec Sonata 380W
HDD Maxtor 80Gb ATA (6Y080P0, Pri Master)
HDD Seagate 250Gb SATA (ST3200822AS)
HDD Maxtor 250Gb SATA (6V250F0 - jumpered in SATA150 mode, the mobo wouldn't work with the drive in SATA300-mode)
Aopen COM5232/AAH Pro CD-Writer ATA (Sec Master)
BenQ DW1640 DVD-Writer ATA (Sec Slave)
P.S. The NVidia IDE-drivers are NOT installed. System is not overclocked.

Thank you for all the replies. Upgrading to the latest Nvidia IDE-drivers did not fix my problem. Moving to other SATA-ports did not help either. Upgrading the mobo's BIOS is not really an option (I'm using one version before the most recent and there isn't anything in the fixlist of the latest BIOS).
Now I've contacted Maxtor for (hopefully) a new firmware.

MSI Neo 2 865PE and aftermarket Northbridge Heatsinks

Is it possible to change the heatsink/fan on the northbridge on an MSI Neo 2 865PE mobo with an aftermarket passive heatsink and maintain the warranty? I'd like to eliminate the fan as a noise source and many other reputable mobo manufacturer's don't use a fan for the chipset. Though I was impressed by the Neo 2's performance on a recent Tom's Hardware mobo shootout, I'd go back to my original choice of an Asus P4P800 Deluxe if I couldn't eliminate the chipset fan.

I guess if you remove it and replace it with something else it voids the warrenty.
I would not care about that, as long as you take care whey you do it so the mobo dont get static damage there is no problem.
Most motherboards are easy to change the HS if you want to, I did this on a old MSI motherboard. I changed the HS from a small one to a Zallman ZM-NB47J and that was somthing like 70% larger than the original, that dropped the temp way down.
I have allso added cooling to other devices, stand alone dvd players etc. Just get cooling HS of different sorts and some "arctic silver adheasiv" and you are good to go :D

Need help with k8t neo ms-6702 and cpu compatiblility question.

I have a msi k8t neo motherboard socket 754 ms-6702 bios version 2.2 with a athlon 64 2800+ in my computer. I just bought a AMD Athlon 64 3700+ CPU Socket 754 .1MB cache. When i install it, my power goes on and i get no activity. Im wondering if i got a bad cpu off ebay or my bios isnt current enough ( i used msi live updating software and its currently at v 2.2) or does my motherboard not support this high of a cpu? Im not very computer literate. Thanks for any help and info. If i need to update my bios, i downloaded version 7.1 but i dont know how to flash it, can somone give me the steps

I had a bad experience with a 3700 bought on e bay ,turned out to be an engineering sample ."special m/b bios reqd" in my case I did get a boot and the engineering cmos message. genuine 3700 754's are quite rare and fetch premium prices.

Does GTX295 VGA work with MSI Neo P35 mainboard?

I have a MSI Neo P35 mainboard (BIOS 1.A0) and GTX280 VGA. I think about changing the VGA to GTX295, but don't know if it will be compatible with my MB. Has anybody tested it yet? Or any information/thoughts?

The P35 has no PCI-Express 2.0 Support. The video card should be downward compatible to the older standard, however, you may have some slight performance losses due to the bandwith limitations of the PCI-Express 1.0a Standard.
In short: The card should work. Just make sure that you PSU is strong enough (suffiant current limit (A) on the +12V voltage rail. Post information about the rest of your system and have a look at the PSU sticker to write down the main specs (brand, model, current limits (A) on the main voltage rails (12V, 5V, 3.3V).

Going on week FOUR of problems with MSI NEO-2-S :/

Mainboard: MSI Neo2-S, BIOS Rev. 1.5x (whatever Live Update sent me)
RAM: GeiL 1GB (512x2) PC-3500 Matched pairs
CPU: P4-2.4c
HD: WD 1200JB Special edition
Cooling: Stock intel, lapped @ 800 grit
PSU: 450W
Video: MSI Geforce 4 TI-4200 64MB
O/S: Windows XP Pro SP1A, IE 6.x latest security patches
DX: Direct-X 9b
BIOS setting: Slow
Overclocking: No, system will not even run stable at rated speeds.
Problem:
System just shuts itself down in the middle of gaming.
CPU temperature has a wide range, depending on how cool the night is and if I have my windows open etc the system can be as low as 40c. Under load while gaming I've seen it go to between 59c-62c.
I've gone into Core Center and turned off the dynamic overclocking so it doesn't adjust speed in the middle of playing games, thinking that might be causing issues.
I've also cranked the fans up all the way in Core Center to increase cooling.
Heck I've even turned Core Center OFF thinking it was messing with my system.
No antivirus is running in the background while I'm gaming. I've fresh installed XP Pro. I've re-applied service packs.
I'm worried about the temperature but I don't necessarily know for certain the sudden shutdowns are a cooling issue.
I am going on week FOUR of problems with this new system. I have never purchased an MSI mainboard and seriously, I have just flat out had it. I've already been through one RMA'd board, I am not RMAing another. I have 3 days left on my newegg account before I am stuck with this MSI, forever. If I can't find a solution ASAP (in 24 hours!) I am returning this MSI board and getting a Gigabyte 8KNXP.
Can anyone help me out here with suggestions please. I'm at my wits end. I've never had to do SO MUCH WORK to get a system running stable. I put my P3 with Intel mainboard together 2.5 years ago and I haven't had ONE single issue.
Stability is a BIG factor for me. I can't even think about overclocking when this sytem won't run at rated speeds!
Chris

This is a different problem.. the first board just flat out died after upgrading the BIOS. I never even got to use it.
This new board upgraded the BIOS just fine but I've been experiencing crashes and shutdowns.
I don't have any spare motherboard or CPU to test it in, and if I did I'd still have to run it for several days..and I don't have several days due in part to me having to dink around with it for so long.
I would say I am in game for 30-60 minutes before I see temperatures that high. Although again I have been playing this same game on my P3-1ghz with the same Video card and never once had a shutdown like this. Never once overheated.
I have all the fancy display/graphics options turned off..I have tested in different resolutions (it makes no difference temperature wise)
I do not know what my core temps are, I can check when I get home and post them if it helps.
I'm running everything at stock speeds. I've noticed Core Center ups my speed slowly from 201x4 to 203x4 etc and so I disabled that and finally flat out took Core Center out of startup. I didn't want it modifying anything while I was playing on the chance it was causing the crashes. Still no change even after that.
The temp does seem a bit high, but I have lapped the heatsink and fan and applied a layer of termal paste (silicon based) to both the HSF and the CPU. I removed that old black pad by scraping it off and then cleaning it with some xylene based carburetor cleaner. I spent several minutes rubbing the black melted parrafin goo off the processor and HSF with a coffee filter. I'm very confident there was little to none left when I applied the new thermal paste.
I don't understand why it runs so hot, nothing is overclocked, I'm running low settings in the game. These temps i'm posting are from Core Center. I have the case OPEN (plenty of ventilation) and I have the windows in my room open to the night air!! (i live in san diego, its cool at night right now) I tried with the case closed also just to be sure and I received the same temperature readings.
None of this makes sense...and after 4 weeks and 500 dollars I'm tired of having to make it sense. It should work right away and that's that.

I would like to know how to change the color scheme of my tabs. They are dark grey with a lighter grey print and are hard to read. How do I make them different colors?

When I open Firefox, the tabs for the homepages are dark grey and the print is a lighter grey but they are hard to read. How can I change the color of these tabs and fonts?
