Problem with my k8t neo

Ok, for some reason my puter will not boot at times, it tell me one of 3 things, a) no hd detected in dos screen, b) boots to logon screen and freezes, or c) boots to a blank screen and freezes. I was thinking that mh hd was going bad but its pretty new and i have heard on other forums that some other ppl are having similar probs with msi boards. Any help would be much appreciated!
System specs;
120 gb samsung SATA hd
radeon 9800 pro 256
mushkin pc3200 ram 2x512
athlon 64 3000
thanks!

How about what PSU you have complete with the 12v amps off it's label. What timings are you set too with that RAM? What other devices do you have attached? What version of Windows? Is it a clean install and that sort of stuff. The more we know the better we can attempt to get you good help. Also make a signature here with your base specs so we don't have to hunt them down.

I can't handle any more problems with this K8t NEO

Hi all, I am new to the forum.
I will honestly say I have tried to read allot of posts before I spoke up but....
I have:
K8t NEO
3200 64
Updated to the latest BIOS
Corsair Overclocking RAM (I am looking up the specs)
256 sick on slot 1
256 stick on slot 3
A new PS....something like:
3.3v 40
5v 38
12v 24 (the local CS gave me a hard time saying I DO NOT NEED such a big PS)
Maxtor 40 gig ATA133
NVIDIA 5600 256
and dwindling patience.
anyhoo, I have had one problem after another trying to get this system to work.
It took 3 hours to find that you cant run 3 sticks of ram.
The manual is the worst one I have ever seen. and there is no phone number to be found to talk to tech support.
I am not getting anywhere with the email "support" from MSI....a DAY to get an abreviated answer that does not answer the specific question. It may be a viable system if they get more staff.
One question...why does the screen "push any key to boot from CD" get "missed"
and two.... I cannot install the OS. It will scopy all of its files and on reboot, i get a messasge about not finding the boot info or something...and to insert a floppy.
I gave up and ran a preloaded HD and it worked for a day until during a recording session, It crashed and when it rebooted it says it cant find any boot info...I should of wrote down the message.
Now What??
I have tried:
A different HD cable
HD jumper settings (Slave / Master)
I tried a low level format.
3 different HDs
Bought the new PS.
I hope I do not have to send this thing in...I dont have hardly any free time. (does anyone?) IF it is needing replaced...do I deal with MSI or the Hindus (zboysz) I bought this Mobo from? I have nothing against Hindus but I CANNOT understand ANYTHING they are saying to me.
Sorry for venting here.
Can anyone can help?
TIA,
~Wizzie

Hey Wizzie
Although I have bought stuff from Tiger Direct ...If I were you instead of fooling around with RMA-ing more defective/incompatable RAM why not get the RAM modules that are indeed compatable with this mobo .........

Card Reader problem with MSI K8T Neo

Hi,
I have the K8T Neo motherboard, and every once and a while my Atech Flash 9 in 1 card reader (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-176-003&depa=0) doesn't power up, thus I can't use it.
What's odd is that all my other USB devices work flawlessly.
The only way I'm able to use the card reader again is to power down my computer and then flip the power switch on the psu, then turn it back on, or unplug the reader from the usb header on the motherboard and plug it back in.
I've noticed other people have had similar issues...
Any ideas what causes this, or any ideas on how to fix this?
Bio Haz

Yes, I had the same hanging problems as well with older BIOS versions then 1.7.
But that isn't the problem I'm talking about, the computer always starts up, it's just a matter if the usb reader will work or not.
Maybe MSI has yet to make a BIOS that is compatible with all card readers.

Hi everyone.
I´m having a strange problem regarding the sound.
Everything seems okay but there is no sound at all.
Can someone post a link to the latest drivers for my mobo and for windows vista?
Are there any alternative drivers?

memory voltage 2.1
Make sure that the memory timings are not set to 4-4-4-x but that they are set to the defaults values (5-5-5-x). Also ensure, that the memory clock speed is not set to anything higher than 400 MHz (=DDR2-800). The voltage at these settings should not need to exceed 1.95V. So please lower it accordingly. In case the freezes still occure, please run memtest86+ to check your memory for errors.

Please get rid of that tool for all further tests. Uninstall it completely from your system as it is known to cause crashes and freezes on its own terms when running.

Problem with my 875P NEO FIS2R when tyring to use x4 Crucial 512MB DDR modules

Hi all
I have a problem with my 875P NEO FIS2R when tyring to use x4 512MB DDR modules. At first the system seem fine then it just hangs on me. All modules are exactly same and I have tried updating my bios and adjusting the settings but nothing works. My system is fine when using x2 512MB moduels. I have searched the forum and found no clear answer although there are other people with this problem. Please can anyone let me know if there is anything I can do with my current configuration to make the x4 512MB DDR work?
From other posts I have learned so far that I either have to buy Paired modules from the manufacturer (which is no use because I bought my first x2 DDR a year ago) or only use x2 and now Dabs isnt taking the other x2 that I just bought because there is nothing wrong with the modules themselves (its the mobo).
I built my system from scratch and wouldnt have been able to have done it without previous assistance so thanks in advance for any help

Relaxing the timings will enable your RAMs to run at higher latencies so that they do not need to go extra mile to catch up with the transfer rates with the FSB.
Lowering the frequencies is like underclocking a speedy twin turbo to a standard single turbine which means lowering of speed so that the RAMs can run lower than expectations which'll be able to provide room for o/c'ing back near to its original frequency.

[Athlon64] TV tuner problems on MSI k8t neo

Hello,
I used TV@nywhere Master. Since beginning it worked.
After graphic card reclamation (MSI GeForce 6800 LE) I tried another graphic cards (at first Legend 64 [1 MB, PCI], later Riva TNT 2 vanta [16 MB, AGP], GeForce 5600 VIVO [128 MB, AGP]). With this Legend graphic card at first my PC beeps for a while, but Windows XP started (even without graphic drivers). I tried another graphic cards (with correct graphic drivers), but since then there was no video on my TV tuner (channels were recognized, sound was possible to hear, but only black screen). I got new GeForce 6800 LE card, but the problem was the same also with this card.
I reinstalled windows XP several times, but always with the same behavior.
Maybe similar as it is mentioned here:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=27537.msg158205#msg158205 (TV@nywhere Master sound but only black picture.)
I tested TV tuner at my friend's PC and it worked, so TV tuner is not broken.
So I bought new TV tuner card (Sapphire theatrix 550), but this card was not even detected under Windows device manager.
When I tried to install ATI drivers, I got BSOD and my PC was restarted.
(there was no problem at my friend's PC [athlon xp 2200, nforce 2 chipset])
Is it problem with PCI slots of my motherboard?
My system:
MSI k8t neo (k8t800 chipset)
Athlon 64-3000+
512 MB DDR
MSI GeForce 6800 LE
Windows XP SP2

Just to note:
there was also problem with network (not detected).
Reclamation was necessary.
There was no similar problem with returned motheboard.

VCORE PROBLEMS WITH MSI P35 NEO F

To see if I can help or at least explain what's happening, buy a MSI P35 NEO F for using a quad, the topic is as follows handling vcore is rare
First thing I can not put less voltage that the cpu brings default, second what happens next if bios setting 1.3250 vcore for Quad, once in both windows everest, cpuz, like others programs tell me that this placed on 1.40 vcore which is excessive for the speed at which the quad, this is so in this mobo? Their story that was installed version 1.20 bios which handled vcore%, the upgrade to version 1.40 and is now handled in decimals (numbers) vcore, but still the problem
You pull more vcore which setting in bios and if you want to download the vcore eg put 1.26 vcore not let you because it takes the vcore default of cpu minimum.
i'm not crashing or problems with the temperatures, but nobody likes to have more vcore's necessary.
Wonder because being rookie of this mobo, maybe there's some bios version that fixes this bug or someone knows something else, thank you guys

PSU 550 MODULAR TOPOWER
-- SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH --

You can slap 1.6v in that CPU and temps won't rise that much.
Core 2 Duo/Quad operates @ 1.250-1.425, anywhere in between those values is perfectly stable for Intel stock cooler and frequency.
Absolutely nothing to worry about. But if you want to complain about >1c I really can't see the sense in that.

[Athlon64] Preventing VIA RAID during boot with a K8T Neo?

Is there a way to stop the VIA controller looking for RAID devices on a K8T Neo MS-6702 VER 1.0 board?
The system has a single SATA connected to the VIA controller.
Thanks.

It's looking 4 disks, since u have a disk, and use it, i gues u want it to be found
It's the same thing with IDE devices, only thing is that the message is displayed shorter, giving the impression it works faster.

3 seprate problems with my K8N Neo Platnium (MS-7030)

Hey,
I am having three seprate but very annoying problems with my new K8N Neo Platnuim. Two of the problems are audio related and one has to do with my Sata hard drive.
Audio- First of all my audio is reversed and has been for awhile (annoying for games). I also have had a problem with the drivers. I have a stereo hooked up through an optical cable and with the MSI realtek 97 (newest driver) it doesnt work. So Then I tried a different realtek driver from asus site and my optical cable worked but still reversed sound. I decided to go back to the msi driver cuase they came out with a new one and same old problems (reversed sound and no sound through optical).
SATA- Secondly I purchased a maxtor 200 gig hd and tried to install windows xp on it will leaving my windows intact on my old hard drive. Now whenever i try and boot off my new hard drive it says error operating system even if i format it and this windows works on my old hd.
Anyways sorry for my poor grammer and spelling but i would really appreciate some help on these three subjects.
Thanks

Nobody wants to help me .... I read on a different post that u can only get 5.1 surround sound for movies through optical. You cant even get the sound check to test speakers other then R/L through optical.... This seems rediculus to me!! I have to go through analog if i want surround sound!!! Anyways this still doenst solve my problem of reversed sound or the fact that the MSI realtek driver doesnt work for optical and an asus driver (which i will now reinstall knowing about the fact that my 5.1 surround sound dreams through an optical cable will never happen ) Also my problem with my SATA drive.
P.S. Is it possible to have my audio hook up from the case to the mobo on backwards explaining the reversed sound?
Anyways thanks in advance for anyone who helps me ....

Problems With MSI K8N Neo Platinum

Posting some probems I have face and wondering if you folks have experience similar problems. I bought 2 and bot hahve same problems (sold both of it). Another friend of mine have also same problems with the board.
1. SATA 1/2 don't work properly. I have detection problems using SATA ports 1/2. The comp will not detect my IDE devices and hang at POST screen. Reboot/reset don't solve the problem. I have to turn off and on to get it to work. Problem is only sovled after switching to SATA 3/4.
2. Network disconnection problem. The NIC will auto disconnect and reconnect back by itself, esp. when under overclocked conditions.
3. Cannot overclock much using DIMM slot-1 esp. when mem is over 230MHz. Must change to slot 2/3. Even so, I do face BSOD stating an USB driver is the cause of the issue.
4. Comp will sometimes unable to reboot at FSB between ~210-240MHz. 250Mz and above seems OK.
Now, I am using Abit KV8 Pro 1.1 and it works fine though. No FSB reboot issues. I am using 1.1 with latest BIOS, thus not AGP/PCI lock issues. Hope MSI will fix those problems mentioned ASAP cause my Abit don't work with mobile A64s. :(

Seriously, I have absolutely no idea. It may be a QC problem, it may be a design problem, its may be BIOS or others. The only thing I know that after I jump ship to Abit KV8 Pro 1.1, all these problems are gone. Only problem is that Abit don't support mobile A64s.
BTe, just another problem or maybe over conservative restrictions. When using DDR333 RAMs, the BIOS will not allow you to manually set it to 400. Thus at 200MHz FSB/HTT, your RAM is stuck at 166MHz. Pretty stupid restriction I have to say.

Problems with my K8N Neo 2 and my 6800GT

I just got my MSI K8N Neoboard with af Winchester 3200,
when Iam playing or do some 3Dmarks.. my suystem hangs/freeze for a couple of seconds... it dont reboot just freeze and then gooing on.
At first I thought i have OC to much ( 400/1100 ) on my 6800GT.. so i tried going down on 375/1000....
i did not freeze so much now.... but still, I can only play for 2 min without failure.
on me old board Asus A7N8X i drove my VGA at 400/1100 without any problems.
I have tried som different drivers 66.93,67.42... without luck...
What is wrong..... is there a problem with this AMD 64 board and a 6800 GT

hi Howdiaudi
welcome to the forum
if youve not seen it 6800 cards-a no-no with nforce boards? may give you some ideas/solutions
there are a number of other threads about your card which you'll find with the search function
hope you get sorted
good luck

4 problems with new K8N Neo 2 Platinum

Just purchased by first MSI board after using Abit for years. Why...I read very good reviews on this board but now I wonder if I made a bad choice.
I have 4 problems with this board.
1. The PCI slots do not recognize any hardware. I have tried my US Robotics modem and Audigy sound card in each slot and nothing.
2. The fire wire port is inoperable. It does not appear in device manager.
3. The second LAN (Gigabit) does not function also. It does not appear in device manager.
4. Won’t boot with my Radeon 9600 XT graphics card. (Might work 1 out of 20 tries if lucky) It works on my old motherboard. Old 7200 works but has a hard time on cold boot.
All of this hardware still works in my old ABIT IC7-G
Here is my setup
Fresh install XP Pro SP2
K8N Neo2 Platinum
AMD Athlon 64 +3500 (Socket 939)
(2) 512MB sticks Corsair TwinX-3200LL Slots 1&2
Radeon 9600XT (Currently using Radeon 7200) as 9600 wont boot
Antec Trueblue Truepower 480W (+5V 38A/+12V 22A/+3.3V 30A)
Board came with bios ver. 1.3 out of box
(2) Western Digital Raptors 36MB each (Raid 0) SATA 3&4
Plextor PX 708A DVD RW
Sent an email to MSI tech support and received the following response:
With regard to your concern, would you please first enter BIOS and Load Optimized Defaults, then save&exit. Also please remove all current drivers for your motherboard and install them over again using the setup CD provided by MSI along with your motherboard? And then please check if in Device Manager, there is any yellow marks, then check again.
If after re-install the drivers the problem still persists, could you please tell us how you connect your HDD to system, and which is your system partition, which can help us analyse the issue. Thanks in advance.
I have done each of these several times with no luck and my reponse to MSI is still unanswered.
Other than all these items......everything else works as I am using this PC to write this call for help.
Any help would be appreciated.

Download the latest Nvidia nForce3 System Drivers from MSI
1)Download to a folder & Unzip the File (Right Click On it)
Also get the Following:-
Realtek Gigabit Ethernet Drivers
Realtek 10/100 LAN Drivers
Realtek ALC Series AC'97 Audio Drivers
2)Open Bios & goto Onboard Devices Ensure the following are enabled :-
MAC Lan (Should be Set to Auto)
OnBoard 1394
OnBoard Giga Lan
AC97 Audio (Enable it for Now & Setup Drivers - Easy to Disable it When SB IN)
3)Install the drivers - Try Right Clicking on the Setup - Properties - Compatability Mode - Select Windows 2000 (Some Drivers Especially NVIDIA Ghave been known just to run but not Install This option should help prevent that)
See where you get through that
Note Once everything is up & running ok you may want to keep your drivers upto date by using the Unified Nvidia System Drivers, as they are usually updated quicker than the MSI ones.
