PROBLEM : BUILDING DMI POOL -WITH- K8N NEO4 PLATINIUM, Ultra nForce 7125

Hello
Problem with motherboard K8N NEO4 Platinum!!!
Description - BUILDING DMI POOL
Configuration:
MOTHERBOARD K8N NEO4 PLATINIUM, Ultra nForce 7125
AMD Athlon 64, 3700, Socket 939
Video: ASUS Carries to an extreme N6200TC, 256 RAM
2 JIG RAM Kingston PC3200 CL3 184-PIN DIMM KIT(2 PSC) model: KVR400X64C3AK2/2G
Power Supply RAIDMAX +24 PIN +4 PIN CPU+SATA 450W
I want to initialize the PC from the CD to install WIN XP, I can change the beginning sequence FROM the BIOS configuring the CD like first device, but from the menu boot with F11 I cannot change the boot order, this fixed one in the +HHD
Already change for several HHD, CD and Power Supply but the continuous problem!!!!!!!!!!
I believe that it is a problem with the CMOS it already cleans it from the reset button and it doesn't pass anything!!!!!!!
Thank You, for your help…

Borger_Montr,
The think you problem maybe the +12V@22A on your Power Supply, I highly recommend a Minimum of 28-30A and I repeat minimum.
If I am right you can prove it this way, you say you cannot even boot from Floppy drive or CD.
Leaving you case sides off unplug all of your case fans, power supply, CPU and motherboard Chipset fans are all you need if your turning it on for a short test.
In addition, Unplug all drives except for the floppy drive.
Then, insert a bootable disk into the floppy drive.
Boot the system, it should boot from the floppy with no problems.
If it boots from the floppy, you need a new power supply and when buy your new PS total power is a useless number. The +12V output current rating the one to look for on a single rail supply like you have now again 30A Minimum 35-40A would be better, on multiple +12V power supply each rail should be rated at 20A Minimum. I do not care how many rails you has each must have 20A or more. Another thing to make sure of make sure the power supply has all the correct cables and connect you motherboard and Graphics cards. Each graphics card and all of the power connectors on the motherboard should have there own cable with correct plugs that connect directly to the Power Supply. For no reason should you need any power cable adapters, all that means is that power supply was not meant for your system.
If you need any more details of instruction or I did not explain something well enough that you understood completely, please reply and ask pacific questions.
Roger
When submitting a problem, include a complete list of your system components; include part numbers, all Power Supply Voltages, and their output ratings. It is almost impossible to estimate what your problem is without knowing something about it.

Vista Sound problems with K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum

I wonder if anyone have gotten the sound to work under 32-Bit Vista RC1 (build 5600) on the K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI (MS-7100)? Installation of the, by MSI, provided XP driver (Creative_audio_32-64bit.zip) seam to work, and the device looks installed in Device Manager, but still no sound... Also, the icon for volume control in the icon trey detects that there is no sound card installed.
Anyone with a similar problem? Any solutions? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks!
I did try one of these drivers before without success. Now when I tried the old driver from nov 2005 it worked!

[Athlon64] Clear PnP Data Pool in K8N Neo4 running xp64

Hello !
Strange Problem.....
You mentioned Problems with your boot-sequence and your Raid Setup. I don´t know exactly but it think this is connected with your SLI Problems. Which Bios Version are you using ? Did you try to make a CmosClear for reinitialising PNP and DMI stuff ? You should also check your Cmos onboard Battery, perhaps its empty.
I have heard about a Problems with this some revisions of this Board, Onboard Battery is emptying very fast sometimes.
Good Luck

Building DMI pool. & ms-6330

Hello!
I have the K7T Turbo (MS-6330) MB with an Athlon at 1200 MHz
The problem is that i cannot make it boot...i always get this message- Building DMI pool. and the computer seems to crash
trying to solve th eproblem, i already cleared the CMOS, but this did not solve the problem...
i have deconnected everything in order to make all simple...the hdd, the floppy...and now basically it's just the processor, the MB, the memory, and the video board...but nothing...the system freeezes...i tried to load fail-safe defaults, i tried to load optimized defaults, but the system still freezes...
any ideeas how to solve the problem?
thank you

Hello!
This is where I'm at too. :(
It is not easily solvable, at least not here. Hopefully it is that CMOS don't like where it finds the bootable disk.
Enter BIOS if you can. Select "None" for all IDE devices. Disable primary cache. Save&Exit. Reboot, to get a CMOS error. Don't enter BIOS. Power off and unplug power cable. Clear CMOS once again. Connect the Master disk, but nothing else, to the primary IDE slot. Start up again. This time enter BIOS and do proper changes for time, hard disk etc.
Good LUCK!
(If this doesn't work, use Windows CD for booting device and do a repair install.)
but i do not at the moment where he would boot....it just freezes after showing the table with devices and irq's...after that it wites Building DMI Pool and stops...
nothing happens
what do you mean by disabling memory cache?how do i do that?

K8n neo4 platinium, any hope for a software controll of SB fan ?

Hello there
Like some other peoples here i have a k8n neo4 platinium and think than its northbridge fan is REALLY noisy.
What is the trick with this Northbridge fan ? I have to buy a normal one that doesn't rotate at 23235564rpm, when i already payed extra for "platinium mobo" ? Olders mobo of that line HAD the option to change nortbridge fan rotation, newer don't, is that product improvement?
Do we even have an hope of MSI realeasing some magic bios with the an unlocked option or did their "engineers" decided than it was better to have max speed hardwired ?
Also just because i had to say it:
-Some time ago i already didnt liked when they wanted us to get new power supply (because of additional connectors) to be able to run the new proc.
-There is also this trick with CPU fan, what is the story there? they make up crappy fans , then we have to void the guarranty to put normal ones instead, and no contructor decided to sell "something" that could go in place of amd ones without getting us to void the guarranty? (am i paranoid or they WANT us to void their guarranty)
-MSI itself as well as some other vendors start to sell mobo with proprietary expension slots , with no other reason of being there than to be able to sell their third party product (it s not faster, nor easier to get working not, nor a chipset or the HW constraint of only having 3 pci slots), i mean i really don't like this kind of "marketting techniques".

MSI should offer a tradein program where you could mail in the old NB HSF, and theyd send you a better one. That would be service.
they do. just search the forums please. there are many people who sent back their fans for a less noisier replacement. however, most go with aftermarket ones.
Quote from: qwertyasdf on 02-March-06, 20:47:39
I Agree, and find it sad that no one at MSIs own support forum hasnt answered this thread for +120 days :(
read the forum rules. there are no MSI employees on this forum. this is a user to user forum.

Memory Controller not available - K8N NEO4 Platinum Ultra

Hi Experts!
I have typical problem in my PC. I need reply only from experts. Newbies please excuse.
My system displays the following info in POST.
VENDOR / DEVICE CLASS DESCRIPTION IRQ
===================================
10DE 005E 0580 Memory Controller NA
If anyone can correctly PIN POINTEDLY identify why this is displayed, it will be much helpful
As such I face no difficulty with my system. But this message very much annoys me.
Thanks.
My PSU Details:
400W. +12V 20Ampere. (This is the maximum I could afford in our indian PC environment.)
AMD 3000+ Winchester 90nm. CPU.

There is no driver for memory controller with A64 (nforce3/4) as stated earlier .
You see this in the memctrl.inf for UDP 5.10 , driver pack for nforce 3 and backwards down to nforce 1 .
Memctrl is only added to the 5.10 package for backward support to nf2 and lower as this is a unified driver package and
the memory controller is at chipset level on the motherboard that resides in the external northbridge on nf2 chipsets and lower .
What you see is just a vendor/machine id description and is just as it should be .

K8N Neo4 Platinum Ultra nForce4 no post.

Took the cpu off and cleaned it, upgraded the video card started the computer and no post. Led's 1,3,4, green 2 red. Took cpu out and checked it no bent pins, checked all connections. Sometimes when it boots it will have 4 green led's but no video. Tried another vid card same thing. Tried booting and holding the insert, cont+home, F1, delete keys. Get power to the fans and hear the HDD sometimes.

No posts to your post either LOL
Anyway - could be fans causing it - I had my Neo not booting until I disconnected a case fan from the mobo fan header output.
Try with just leaving the cpu fan (could also be this one of course) .

X850XT video problem, with K8N NEO4-F

OK have any of you, had or heard of this problem,
I just picked up a sapphire X850XT PCI E video card,
But when I install it, there is blue and red lines going through everything,
This shows up as soon as the computer post’s, so it’s not a driver problem,
Some times it looks fine, then if I try to benchmark the card, with 3Dmark06,
It gets through some of it, and then it gets the lines problem,
I looked around to see if it might have been a compatibility problem,
But I don’t see anything any where, so I’m assuming it’s a bad video card,
But before I send it back thought I would ask about it,
Specs,
K8N NEO4-F
Athlon 64 4000
1gig ram
500watt dual rail PSU (all the voltages are normal)

PSU is a antec 500 watt
the card does this right at post, so it's not the drivers,
I have reset it more then I can count, I think it's the card,
when I put this 5300 back in it's fine,

Dual DDR problem with K8N Neo2 Platinium.

Hi all,
I have a new K8N Neo2 Platinium since last week. My configuration is : AMD 64 Venice 3000+, 2 x 256 MB Kingston Value RAM (KVR400X64C25/256) 160GB Seagate SATA, MSI FX5700 VTD 256MB etc...
The problem is I cannot work them in dual DDR mode! But they works in single mode very good. I know that my RAM pairs are not in vendor list! But I love my RAMs..They are CL2.5 and I think they are valuable...
So what can I do?

Deathstalker , lots of value kinston ram is qualified .
Just take a look at NF4 testreport:
http://www.msi.com.tw/html/products/mainboard/testreport_pdf/7125/memory.pdf
And what you say about value ram vs non jedec spec OC ram is often quite the opposite as valueram follows the jedec spec
and is a more "hit" than miss with most motherboards contra what OC ram is .
Dxvideo , make sure you use memory slot 1+2 as said, also try booting to bios with one stick and save cas as 3.0
then install second module . Se if it helps with looser cas value .They also follow jedec SSTL 2.5v standard
but is verified by vendor -/+ 0.25v so you can also set voltage manually to 2.6v (or more) to help them out .
If it worked in dual chl on NF2 doesn't neccesary mean they will on A64 system as this memory controller is more picky than
the external memory controller on NF2 boards.

Problems with K8N Neo4-F and eVGA 6600GT

Alright, I just built a new PC after my last computer died. The specs:
MSI K8n Neo4-F
Athlon 64 3200+ (Venice)
1 GB Corsair PC3200 RAM
eVGA GeForce 6600GT (PCI-Express
Antec TruePower 550W PSU
Now, when I turn on the computer it seems to boot up okay, except for the fact that, well, I get no video. However, when I hit delete to enter the BIOS, I do get a picture on the screen - but it's horribly scrambled and I can't make out anything whatsoever. I can tell that it's properly going into BIOS because I can vaguely see the selection bar which moves when I press up/down, but I can't do a thing besides that. I have no realy clue what the problem is, especially since I can't even do a thing yet. I checked to make sure the card and power connectors and everything are properly seated... Could having a 20-pin connector in a 24-pin mobo make it do this? Or is it something far more sinister, like a dead video card?

Bought another PCI-e video card and still doesn't work. Guess the motherboard is bad. Ordered an Asus this time. Disappointed with the lack of help from MSI in troubleshooting/solving the problem. I had to buy a regular PCI video card and two new PCI-e video cards just to see were the problem might be; swap-tronics troubleshooting on my dollar($), that sucks...

SATA hard drive problems with k8n neo4 plat

Helo , I am hoping someone can help me with this. I have read Fafner's thread on installing a sata hard drive on the neo4 mb but the only utility program I found on wd site is called " lifeguard11 for windows". Is this the right utility to use to partion my hard drive? I burned it to a cd and and my computer will post but will not boot from that cd. I have followed the instructions that came with the mb and used the floppys at F6 but it won't countinue to install windows after that.
Also I'm not sure how to enable sata in the bios. Do I go to integrated peripherals/sata devices config. and at the top of the screen it say's RAID Enable. Do I enable that and then enable sata1 raid? I am only using one hard drive. Thanks for help you can give.

My system is similar to yours, if your just using the one Raptor you don't need any special drivers, your mother board will detect the Raptor with out any special settings. I hooked my Raptor up to SATA 1 (look on pg 2-2 of your book for the location) If your only planing on installing one operating system on your hard drive, such as windows XP pro, Windows will format and partition the drive for you.
If your having problems booting from a CD make sure you change the boot order in the BIOS (under advanced bios features pg. 3-8 of your manual) so that CD is before HD. For example, mine is set up for: First boot device = Floppy drive, Second boot device = CD Rom, Third boot device = hard drive, and etcetera. if your using more than one hard drive such as an IDE drive make sure you set the "hard disk boot priority" on the same page to the hard drive you want to boot from.
Once that is done put your Windows CD in the CD drive and reboot, Windows will guide you through the rest.

You can use CD drivers (if needed to get connected to net) and update. because of the item on CD will be out dated

Raid0 problem with K8N NEO4 F1

I have had some strange problems recently after running with complete stability for a couple of months.
1. On booting up in the morning Windows XP Pro has failed to load. Only a MBR repair or image backup worked.
2. Problems with Raid on boot occurred with 1. No array warning and only one disk showing up after deleting array.
I have :-
1. Run Memtest from Dos with no errors.
2. Run WDDIAG on both disks with no errors
3. Checked temperatures. All less than 45
4. Checked power voltages etc - all good
5. Re-flashed the bios from DOS.
6. First thing I did was turn off overclocking btw.
I have changed to RAID1 mirrored drives and things have been absolutely stable for a week. I even have the impression that the system is running faster!I have all the latest drivers installed. My feeling is that this is a bios or chip related problem though there are stories of XP fouling up the MBR when at the 137GB limit, I don't think these apply.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks

Meditek,
First would like to go over your CD boot problem, because this totally a BIOS problem and Windows and its drivers not in the picture. Therefore, I would like to make sure the BIOS running correctly and stably, before we get look at startup or running of Windows has problem. BIOS Has problem Windows is going to have problems.
The drive boot sequence; If you have a drive boot sequence of (1) Floppy Drive (2) CD Drive (3) Hard Drive and you have no disks in the floppy or CD drive the BIOS should not hang on the Floppy or CD Drive if the is not disk in them or should I give any type of air message.
What I am getting from reading between the lines in your messages is that whenever you need to boot from a drive you are manually placing list in the boot priority less. Please inform me, if I am wrong?
I would like you to set your boot priority list like the one I listed above, that (1) Floppy Drive (2) CD Drive (3) Hard Drive. If the is any other devices list place them after the Hard Drive. Then go to your list of hard drive and insure the drive/Array with Window in stalled on it is first on the list, this tell the BIOS and Windows It is the Windows Boot device.
Next, the CMOS Backup Battery, 2.89V is on the edge of being weak and we need to Totally Eliminate it as a problem. I just took batteries of old motherboard that have been setting on the self for three to five years that read to same or higher. So, get a new replacement battery the measures 2.950 or better. Your current battery if you were having not problem I would you could still use it, but have a new on hand.
A new battery will measure over 3 volts.
Now, like take a look at the BIOS MOS reset procedure you are using. I myself and others I have been in communications with have been having problems with procedure listed the Manual not completely clearing the CMOS Memory. Leaving trash in some of the BIOS parameters, some of which are not even list so you do not your have completed a good total clearing of the BIOS and this alone can lead to some real weird problem that are imposable to trace to a cause. Another MSI Form member gave me this procedure. This procedure insures the there is no power let in the system to defeat your attempt to clear the clear the BIOS parameters.
(1)   Unplug the AC Plug cord from the computer.
(2)   Remove the Battery. If your like me and has always struggled with get the little battery out when buried behind and under cables in between I/O cards. Get a small pair of needle nose priers and press the two metal tabs together that make up the retaining clip. Now this first time you do this it will surprise you, because if there is nothing it its way the spring contact behind it will pop it out with enough force to send it flying. If you power supply is mounted in the bottom of your case, put paper over the grill, because if the battery goes in there you are in for at lest 12 pack day.
(3)   With power, unplugged and the battery remove press the BIOS clear button and the Power switch and holed them for twenty to thirty seconds.
(4)   Then, let the system set for as long as you have patience, at lest thirty minutes.
(5)   Again, press the BIOS clear button and the Power switch and holed them for twenty to thirty seconds.
(6)   Reinstall the battery and plug the power back in.
(7)   Boot the system to the BIOS to BIOS Default Values, Save and Exit.
(8)   Reboot to BIOS Setup Routine and Set all Bios parameters to the normal system operating parameters, save and exit.
Note: Do not setup your system for any over-clocking, but check you memory default setting to insure the BIOS is setting them correctly. Mine sets the default memory voltage to below the manufactures spec.
(9)   Reboot the system to the BIOS setup routine, YES again, rechecks that all of you normal system operating parameters save and exit.
(10)    Check and insure there are no disks in the Floppy or the CD, if there are remove them.
(11)    Now when the system reboots it should not hang on the floppy or CD and the should be no error messages unless Windows itself has problem startup.
Now, when you have all that done, reply and let me know how you system is operating.
And that all for today, my communication center between my right and left brain is about a tenth the of normal and this has been working it on over load for about of about two hours, so time for med’s and a nap.

When submitting a problem, include a complete list of your system components; include part numbers, all Power Supply Voltages, and their output ratings. It is almost impossible to estimate what your problem is without knowing something about it.
