If you are getting to the "Disk boot failure insert disc and press enter" then it is trying to boot from the wrong HDD therefore the device order CD,HD,Floppy is not the issue - it is the HDD disk order which you need to change.
In Advanced BIOS Features there is an item called "Hard Disk Boot Priority" - select this and make sure that your boot disk is at the top, if not move it up with the + key.

  • Problem k8n neo platinum

    hi everyone
    I got one problem. I just installed msi k8n neo platinum and flashed the bios from 1.4 to 1.6. The problem is when I want to change HT frequency there was no number in the menu and my pc stucked there. The worse is I cant go over 205. . As I know this mobo is good  for overclocking butthis one is really suck. Anyone can help me? ( ignored the grammar). btw I used 3200+ Newcastle, 2x512 corsair xms

    I suggest you go back to Bios 1.4 and see if everything works.
    If everything is OK then either the Bios 1.6 sucks or you did not update properly.
    MSI is good in reverse engineering, I upgrade my Neo4 from Bios 1.2 to 1.4 and I got stuck!!

  • USB mouse problem - K8N Neo Platinum

    I have a Razer Boomslang 2000 USB mouse. Ever since I got my new motherboard, the K8N Neo Platinum, It has problems when i turn the power for a long time - overnight. When I turn it back on in the morning the mouse refuses to work. I then have to manually pull it out of the USB port and plug it back in, in order for it to work. This is extremely frustrating.
    I have windows xp pro sp1 all fully up-to-date and the latest 1.2 bios and 5.03 chipset drivers.
    Any ideas on how I could fix this ??

    Hi Dread,
    I also have this problem with the same motherboard as you.  This was the case with my K7N2 DELTA as well.  Solved the problem by using an USB - PS2 adapter.

  • Cold boot problem K8N Neo 2 Platinum

    Every cold boot of my system fails. The fans start, but the only other things that happen are the hd light stays on, CD-RW drive light blinks and the DVD-RW drive light blinks continuously until I press and hold the power button to shut it down. If press the power again it sometimes starts up in Bios safe mode but halts in the BIOS saying its been overclcocked and the BIOS has been reset. If I then press F1 to continue the POST completes and WindowsXP Pro loads ok. Warm resets and powered down startups are ok after that.
    If I wait a few hours, or overnight, the same thing happens again though.

    My machine started acting up again after several months. Last night turned it on no boot, etc etc. Tried new bios 1.5, reset CMOS to optimized defaults. Machine booted OK.. Turned machine on today no boot. turned it off turned it back on started right up. Reset HTT to 4x and I guess we will se. Has anyone come up with a fix for th is or is MSI even admitting it's a problem?

  • Boot Problem with K8n Neo 2 Platinum

    I cant get my Computer to load the bios
    Sometimes when I restart my computer it will lock up in the Bios Sign on and the only way to get it to boot through is to keep resetting the computer and turning the power off and on. It does this on a random basis, Ive also had problems with it locking up if the dynamic oc is turned on.
    Has anybody heard of this happening or know how to fix it?

    Corsair memory is known to be troublesome with AMD64. 
    Nevertheless, if everything is set correctly, it'll work.  I've been running the LLPRO 3200 1GB kit at 220MHz without any noticable problems.  Run a couple of rounds with Memtest86+ to verify memory functionality.
    Can you please give your specifications on the power supply unit (PSU), especially the amperage on the +12 volt rail.

  • Problem with K8N Neo 4 Platinum

    Hi I am new on this forum.
    I have problem with proper configuration of the BIOS in K8N Neo 4 Platinum. My processor is Athlon 64 3000. It has 1800 clock. My BIOS  makes default 200MHz x 5. It makes 1000 MHz clock. Will it be good if I change at 200 x 9?
    Other thing: I tried to change at 200 x 9 but in Windows (2000) is still 200 x 5 (acc. to Core Cell). When I chanded on 200 x 7,5 all in Windows was ok. Core Cell showed 200 x 7,5. How I may resolve this problem?

    I have my memory in green slots. Does dual channel works in this case?
    - No  Green = Channel A, Purple =Chanel B use Green nearest cpu & adjacent  purple slot.
    Quote
    HT freq.   5x
    That's your HT multiplier as mentioned by Some1ne not the Adjust CPU Ratio which is the CPU multiplier.
    Your CPU is running at the correct speed.
    DDR Clock: 167 MHz s/be 200 - this should chnge when memory is in right slots.
    Change memory over & let's have a look @ those settings then.

    hi
    i have two problems
    the d-bracket2 doesn't work
    when my game controller is on , it isn't recognized by Win XP
    but the 4 leds are green.
    i tried the two connectors and it's the same thing.
    my logitech cordless keyboard doesn't work in the bios
    i tried with the ps2 but the keyboard didn't work in XP
    i check the bios with an other keyboard and the usb keyboard support is enabled
    can you help me ?
    PS: Sorry for my english

    Hi galette,
    Do you have a k8n neo or neo2 ?
    At least some neo2's have problems with ps/2 keyboards. Their users could circumvent this by using usb keyboards.
    I have a logitech cordless desktop myself and for me it works. Perhaps you can borrow a usb keyboard to test it ?

  • Post problem with K8N Neo Platinum

    I am assembling a system for a friend and it hangs according to D-Bracket2 on Processor initialization (Led 1:red, led 2:green, led 3: green led 4: red)
    Specs
    PSU:   Codegen 350W    ( 3,3V   14A
                                           5V     30A
                                           12V    15A  )
    VGA:   Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB
    CPU:   AMD Athlon 3000+
    HDD:   Seagate 7200.7  120GB  in   SATA1-port
    DVD:   MSI DR8-A  DVD Burner
    RAM:   M-Tec 512MB  DDR400
    If the problem is the processor it should hang on Power On (all leds red), right?
    There's some damage done to CPU fan connector so the sensor wire from the CPU fan might have no connection to the mobo. How about ESD-damage, can it cause this?
    Another thing I might have done wrong is connecting front panel connectors.
    I am just hoping and praying that the processor is OK and the mobo causes this.

    Thanks to RacerX for answering but the problem wasn't the PSU.
    Mobo caused it and I replaced it.  I think it was the physical damage I mentioned in the first post. I also changed hdd from SATA1-port to SATA3-port but I don't think it matters.
    Now everything works fine so +12V/15 Amps is enough.
    Does the K8N Neo Platinum hang on Processor Init if it doesn't detect CPU Cooler?

  • Msi k8n neo plat problems

    I have built 2 computers exactly the same.

    8og sata maxtor
    amd 64 3200

    When i tried to install windows xp pro on both the machines i got the same error. could not copy file. On each try the file was a different one. After hours of trying new things i found that putting the memory in slot 2 on the motherboard  solved the problem, windows installed and booted up as norm. When i moved the memory back to slot 1 the computer would not boot.
    I have now left the memory in slot 2 but the computer will still crash every hour.
    I am sure this is something to do with the memory but not sure what the problem is.
    Can anyone help.

    Can anybody tell me what i should set the cpu fsb frequency to in the bios.
    I just read this in the faq
    What is the fsb speed of this cpu?
    Depending on which FSB you are asking about: The Athlon 64's have the memory controller built in (which was previously part of the Northbridge on the motherboard) which uses up to 200MHz DDR Memory (400MHz FSB) The HyperTransport link from the CPU to the rest of the motherboard runs up to 800MHz. Just to expand on my answer... The HT link is 800MHz, but it's 16 bit in size (2 bytes worth of data per clock) the total bandwidth of the HyperTransport link is 3.2GB in total - 1.6GB sending data to CPU and 1.6GB receiving data from CPU.

    but still same error, i aint no expert so i might have missed something in bios or something :(
    please help me if you can..

    Flashing bios with memory errors is a veeeeery bad idea .
    Almost guarantied to ruin your bios chip with bad data block.
    That this even is suggested with mem errors , well .
    You need to resolve the mem errors before doing anything else.
    The windows xp install routine is a very heavy user of cpu and memory
    and will fail if you have mem errors like you have.
    Some things to try is entering bios and change auto settings on cpu voltage
    giving it 0.5v more than default .
    Set the memorys voltage to vendors max approved voltage
    which for yours is 2.6v +/- 0.1v . So it's safe to set at 2.7v .
    Set timings to cas 3 ,ras 3 ,trp 3 , tras 8 , CMD 2T.
    Pushing it firmly down in the dimm socket , sometimes it's not all the way down there even if the plastic lockers snap in.
    Disconnect all devices not needed for a windows install ,things can be added later.
    Have only the hd that os is to be installed to , one cdrom , floppy , memory and
    gfx card .
    Disconnect USB case front connector (cause corruption and strange faults if
    USBOC pin is connected)

  • Boot-up Problems with K8N Neo

    I've just upgraded my computer with a K8N Neo motherboard, AMD 64 3000+ processor and a nice new Antec case.
    I have a few problems so far.
    1.  95% of the time, when POST gets to "Verifying DMI Pool Data"...the NVIDIA Boot Agent will kick in, i assume because it can't boot from my hdd.  But i can't for the life of me figure out why, the hdd is from my old computer but it's a clean copy of Windows XP on there.  I have disabled SATA in bios.  The other 5% of the time my computer boots up fine.
    2.  POST is very slow, it can take up to 5 minutes just to detect the IDE drives.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, i'm not sure if ive included enough information, so please ask if you need more.
    Thanks!

    hi dave,
    can you give us more details about your spec please,
    Memory, Hard drives (Manf Model Capacity & Pata(ide) or Sata), optical drives, power supply model & max amps on 3.3,5 & 12v rails please.
    this will help us to help you & save unesecary questions.

    youve just created this on the new mobo?
    enter bios -
    Cmos setup check that your drives appear as you expect them.
    Advanced bios options - Hard disk boot order check that the HD with windows on is at the top of the lisi, use pageup/down keys to move it.

  • MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition PROBLEM

    Hi (my english is not good sorry for that)
    I just got my new computer:
    MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition
    AMD Athlon64 3200+
    Western Digital Caviar 160Gb
    PNY Verto GeForce 6800Ultra 256Mb
    1GB Value Select pc3200
    Levicom 500W
    The Problem is that when i start the computer, it boot and die directly no bootscreen what so ever, it boot and die.  i dont know what to do plz help me

    Make sure you have Both the ATX Wires on.. theres the Big one! (21Pins i think).. and the Small 4Pin Connector both need to be connected.. if you havent done so yet.. Another thing you could do is Take everything out and place it on a cardboard or something appropriate for the mobo.... I think your motherboard is shorting?.. if it's touching your case.. I had somewhat the same issue long time ago.. give it a try..if you want hope it helps..

  • MSI K8N Neo Platinum & Crucial Ballistix 512MB RAM Problem

    I have had MSI K8N Neo Platinum and 1x Crucial Ballistix 512MB RAM for 11 months.
    I have had 1x Crucial Ballistix 512MB RAM for 2.5 months, for a total of two.
    I have had MSI GeForce 6600GT (NX6600GT-VTD) 128MB AGP for 1 month.
    For about 1.5 to 2 weeks, I have been seeing random crashes while playing PC games.
    I started a thread on the Hard OCP forums a few days ago.  I did not know MSI had forums =)
    Rather than re-typing, I may as well just post the link:
    http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=934956
    My issue is also similar to this one:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=83799.0
    Thanks for the help.

    ALL RIGHT, after almost    FOUR    months my issue is FINALLY    resolved.
    It is amazing how much time passes when you are hesitant to buy parts unless you are 95% sure it will fix the problem.
    OK, here is an update as to what I remember.
    I went to BIOS 1.4 and tried many different physical and BIOS RAM configurations (Different seating, different number of DIMMs, different RAM timings, voltages, etc).
    I concluded that I could not make my PC 100% stable, but I could get it darn close.  With certain settings, such as DDR400, 2-2-2-6, 1T, 2.80V, Aggressive Timing enabled, Memtest failed test #5 every time (this is spec for my RAM).  With other settings, such as DDR333, 2.5-3-3-7, 2T, Auto V, Aggressive Timing enabled, Memtest failed test #5 maybe once out of 5000.
    I also concluded that the RAM voltage and Aggressive Timing setting was having a big impact.  Some settings would not work (failed Memtest) with RAM at 2.80V but would work with RAM at Auto V.  Some settings would not work (failed Memtest) with Aggressive Timing enabled but would work with it disabled.
    Finally, I started to occasionally get R,G,R,G (Processor Initialization) on the D-Bracket upon cold-start & warm-start, which suggests a PSU issue:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=76972.msg542545#msg542545
    That pushed me over the top, and I decided to buy a new PSU (TG-480-U22) and a new SATA HDD (WD2500KS) just because.
    Problem solved.  Thanks for all the help.
    I will continue to buy MSI in the future just because of these forums…and a good product of course!

  • Msi k8n neo platinum ps2 keyboard problem

    Hi. I'm having issues with my msi k8n neo platinum motherboard. I've read about 50 posts on these forums regarding the supposed ps2 keyboard issues with recent msi boards. However none of them seems to address my current situation.
    Like many  others, when I power up my system the cpu fan spins for like 3 seconds then everything comes to a halt.
    I tried many things to get my system to boot and the only thing that works is plugging my ps2 keyboard into the ps2 mouse port and moving the ps2 mouse into a usb port with an adapter.
    It seems there's no hope for fixing the problem other than RMA'ing, but I thought I would add to the pile of complaints stacking up against the MSI boards.

    if u had read the threads a little more u might have found a solution that seems to have worked 4 many - a usb keyboard usb Keyboard if u go this route dont forget to enable usb kb in bios
    Edit: This Thread Summarises the situation PS2 keyboard/mouse causes random shutdowns or doesnt work      

  • MSI K8N NEO PLATINUM (RAM/HD problem/mobo problem?) [SOLVED]

    my setup:
    windows xp pro sp2
    amd athlon 64 3200+
    msi k8n neo plat - 7030 - bios 2.1
    x800 xt vid

    kingston valueram pc3200 2x512 cas 3-3-3-8
    ps = antec 430 watt truepower power supply (20 A on 12V)
    I dont know if you guys remember my but i created a topic on here a while back about how my keyboard and mouse suddenly stopped working, well that turned out to be that the msi k8n neo platinum just went bad. So i RMA'd it and recently got the replacement board (with latest bios already installed). It worked completely fine for about a day. Well that same day i got it back, i installed a Logitech G7 USB wireless mouse. after i installed it, i began getting numerous windows stop blue screen errrors, even after i removed the mouse from control panel. So i figured i should format because to rule out everything and start fresh. So i did a FULL format and attempted the reinstall windows again. AFTER the format and BEFORE windows attempted the continue installation, i got the same stop error. I figured now this was a hardware problem. So first i tested RAM. I got the latest version of memtest86 and let it run for 4 hours (11 passes) with NO errors at all. Secondly, i got a western digital hard drive diagnostic program to test for failing hard drive and again no problems with that. I still suspected ram so i tried to boot with only 1 stick installed (in first slot), however the PC didnt boot at all (cleared cmos too). So i moved it to the second slot and cleared cmos again and this time it posted but it just hangs at a cursor and does nothing, same thing happened with third slot. I tried this same procedure clearning cmos each time with the second ram stick and got the SAME results. Shouldnt the motherboard boot with only 1 ram stick installed? Did MSI RMA me another bad board? Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

    G R
    As an example this means "Initializing Keyboard Controller"
    You will find this information in the manual page 2-23. (On mine) under Hardware Setup
    Also can you please do all your tests with the ps2 keyboard and mouse and for now leave your Logitech G7 USB wireless mouse to one side.

    for two sticks of ram = RR
                                   GG
    for one stick of ram = GR
                                  GG
    as for the g7, it hasnt been plugged in at all, i took it out long ago.. as for the ram, the timing was set to 2T, no overclocking, i will try 2.7 v and let you know, but for the record, it has been running at normal voltage settings for about a year perfectly fine.
