Problems w/ MSI PT880 Neo-LSR

I built my sysytem last February and it ran great right out of the box with the current hardware I am still using( See Sig block). about a month ago I started getting a few windows crashes and lock-ups(win XP Pro). I wiped both my hard drives and re-installed, got the same problem. Windows loads VERY S...L...O...W...L...Y . I am also getting the blue screen of death from both hard drives, error messages from both DVD Drives, Cmos errors Floppy disk drive errors and VGA Controller errors.
I checked my PC health and saw that my Proc. was up to 130 deg F, sys was at 90 deg F and my 3.3 volt was bouncing between 2.8 and 3.0
I replaced the Cmos Battery and installed a couple fans thru the power supply. That brought my temps down to 120 and 90 but didn't seem to help the 3.3V power or any of the errors I've been getting. I updated My BIOS thru MSI Live updater and that didn't seem to help either
Any Help or troubleshooting I could get would be appreciated

Hi,
Add on to Danny's post.......
How big is case? Increasing fans will not help, unless you have a case to support this........ Try leaving side off case and see if this helps......
Have you checked for Viruses? Boot Sector only go on FDISK and format............
Set :
AGP > 1.6V
DDR > 2.7V
Oh and check fans are in correct direction.........air-flow........the fans should have an arrow that is the air-flow.........

[PT880-Neo LSR]Power supply problem

Hello,
We've installed the new motherboard today, it model is PT880 Neo LSR. Well we've got everything plugged in, but when we try to turn on our computer it doesn't turn on.
There is a case switch, but when turn on, the fans work for like 1 second then it stop.
I've tried the Troubleshooting guide on the website, and studying the Manual, but I could not find a way to fix this.
Can anyone help us fix this power supply problem please?
Thanks

I only heard a sound psssst, and nothing run. I tested it many time and it still not work. Then I UNPLUG the 4-pin connector from the power supply to the mainboard, and test again, this time, only all the fan RUN except the the fan in the power supply DID NOT run. Is it because that the power supply got problem? I used another power supply 420w to test but nothing run either.
MATSONIC motherboard MS9087C
DDR 400
Intel celeron 2gh 400 fsb
Macron 350w power supply
The psssst sound----sounds like something shorted out. Pull everything out and put it back in with a different PSU.
Don't put a hard drive or floppy in-----just CPU, RAM mobo, vid card, fans, PSU-----see if it will post.

PT880 Neo-LSR 7008 ver 1 dead after bios flash

I flashed my new (well it's been on a shelf for a while) PT880 Neo-LSR 7008 with a Win98 floppy and now it doesn't boot anymore.
I followed the instructions on the website ... make boot floppy, put bios on different disk. when I ran the flash program, it
successfully erased the old bios then I got a error reading drive a: error. I assumed it was looking for command.com or some
other nonsense, but I hit r for retry several times before taking the bios disk out and putting the boot floppy in. then I
hit r for retry again. the flash program then continued, starting the flash process, finishing, and finally giving me a 'success' message
and sending me back to the DOS prompt. So I assumed it worked.
Now when I try to boot the computer (which booted fine before the flash), I get nothing. The D-bracket-2 never gets past
all four lights (= system power on - "the d-led will hang here if the processor is damaged or not installed properly"), even though
I changed nothing other than flashing the bios. The cpu fan is plugged in and turns so I don't think it's the thermal protection
circuit.
I tried hitting ctrl-home to force a bios recover with a bios file named amibios.rom in the floppy but I don't see any drive
lights come on the floppy after several minutes.
I also tried booting after clearing the cmos with jumper and also physically taking the battery out. This is not my first time
flashing a bios, but the first time I had a problem. Anybody got any suggestions? oh yeah, I used
the 1.9 bios 11-26-04 to flash.

okay, thanks. the files check out fine on a different floppy drive (was written using the floppy on the dead computer).
the MSI tech support people also think it is a bad board (even though it worked fine prior to the bios upgrade). wasn't sure I would get a reply from the ts people, site says you should get a confirm letter first, which i didn't. luckily i still have at least a month based on manufacture date till the 1 yr warranty ends.

Still troubleshooting 0x0000007F errors on PT880 Neo-LSR

So frustrating...just cannot seem to end the 2-3 times a week blue-screen shutdown my computer insists on. Posted something a few months back on this, and consensus seemed to be that my 380w Antec Power supply was too small for my system, so I upgraded it to the TruePower550, really hoping this would end the problem. It did not.
Seemingly corresponding with the errors I'm getting (it seems), is a disk error in the event properties that says:
The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk4\D. Sometimes it calls this "Harddisk3" or "Harddisk2" for some reason, but it's always D. My D: drive is a 160GB IDE that is pretty new and it's hard to imagine it's really failing. Maybe, but I doubt it. I replaced the IDE cable to this drive to no avail. I don't know if the fact that my C: drive is SATA is contributing to this, though.
The blue screen error actually reads:
0x0000007F (0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
Microsoft says this is either bad RAM or a bad mobo. Both are just a few months old. I have a lot of pretty new (expensive) equipment going here.
It seems if I want to have my Geil memory tested, I have to pay $49 at the computer store near me. Which seems outrageous. I could almost buy a brand new PT880 Neo-LSR for that. Which won't help if the mobo is not the problem, but still. The BIOS I'm running is 1.7.
Obviously I'm going to have to keep spending money on new equipment troubleshooting this. It never ends!! The question is, where to spend it? On the RAM test? On a new slave drive I might not need? Should I just buy a new mobo?
Any suggestions would certainly be appreciated.

Well, I pulled the drive that was throwing the errors and sure enough, still getting the same errors/restarts saying the drive D (which is no longer in the machine at all) is at fault. Ridiculous.
This has to be the board. I'm convinced.
Time to buy (another) new motherboard. This one must be like 4 months old or so. Sheesh.

Can you remove the slave drive for now and see if that helps with stopping the errors, if not then perhaps RMA your Board as a mainboard fault will throw all kinds of errors at you.
I spent 7 months trouble shooting before i found out it was the board ... Iwould not wish that stress on anyone else. Any way good luck and let us know if you fix it.

MSI 875P Neo LSR Dead??

Hi y'all,
Saturday 12th of juli I've bought some components:
- Intel P4 3.0GHz 800MHz FSB
- MSI 875P Neo LSR
- 2*512MB Kingston HyperX PC3200 CL2
- Hercules 3D Prophet 9800 Pro
- Iiyama Vision Master Pro 413
After installing the whole bunch, I tried to boot the system but nothing happend!
So I waited for about 5 min. and booted again. This time almost succesfull but..... the only parts that were working are my fans (casefans, cpu-fan and the Northbridge-fan).
The powerswitch wasn't working (and it was installed correctly). I had to power the system via the powerswitch on my powersupply. So my guess was that my mobo was dead!
After returning the mobo back to my retailler, they concluded that it was dead indeed, so the gave me another mobo.
So after installing the new board, I tried to boot again, but still no succes so far.
My retailer tested the board again and it was also dead.
Some symptoms:
- Active fans
- No HDD, floppy and DVD-player/Burner activity
- Blank screen (display in standby)
- Instant power on when I turn the switch on on my powersupply
I've tried different videocards, memory modules and clearing the C-MOS, bur nothing seems to help ;(
Can you please help me out????
Thanks
Best regards,
Arjan

With regard to the motherboard stand-offs, motherboards dont always use the same amount or in the same position (the stand-offs are movable -either bending out of brackets in the case or unscrewing)
Always check ALL the standoffs line-up with screw positions for your moterboard before fitting, a wrongly positioned post can short-out PCB traces/pins
Another easily overlooked item is the square 4 pin 12v connector (older type power supplys dont even have one), the 12v power connector is located by the northbrige/AGP socket (the CPU will not start without this fitted)
Sometimes when physicaly altering a computer the reset or power-on (start) switchs dont line up correctly with their buttons -this can cause the switch to be permanently "on"
The power-on switch will cause the computer to "cycle" (constant restarting) and the reset switch will cause the computer to hang with-out initialising -try removing the reset switch connector from the motherboard
If none of those are the problem i would suggest trying a different power supply -or maybe your dealer could check the one you are using at the moment

PT880 Neo-LSR bootup hell

I'm having a hell of a time troubleshooting the problem with my mobo booting...
Had some Centon RAM that went bad awhile back and had an RMA replacement of that RAM. Prior to shipping it back to them, the system was *very* unstable, but usable. The replacement RAM worked for about a day, and then the system failed again. Now, it won't boot into any system software (even memory tests like memtest86 freeze up) -- Windows or Linux (Knoppix, specifically).
I've also tried a stick of Mushkin RAM with the same results.
D-Bracket readouts show failures at different times: Decompressing BIOS image to RAM for fast booting, Testing VGA BIOS, Processor Initialization, and Assign Resources to all ISA.
System is:
PT880 Neo-LSR mobo
Celeron 2.4 GHz processor, stock heat-sink
Mushkin 512 MB PC2700 or Centon 512 MB PC2100
Leadtek WinFast A360 Ultra TDH (GeForce FX 5700 Ultra, 128 MB) video card
Any ideas what I can try next, or should I fill out an RMA return form for the mobo?
Suggestions?

Yes, I've connected the 4-pin connector. Here's the info on the PSU:
Antec 350 Watt PSU
DC Out:
+5 V
+12 V
+3.3 V
-5 V

I'll double-check everything again to make sure I'm not missing something.

PT880 Neo-LSR/WD740GD SATA Incompatibility?

I have a new PT880 Neo-LSR and a new WD740GD Raptor hard drive, and the motherboard will not properly recogize the hard drive when it is connected to the SATA connector. I've had no problem getting into the bios, or booting from a CD or floppy. In fact, I successfully flashed it from a floppy with the latest bios to see if that would resolve the HD recognition problem, but no luck. When I try to install Windows XP, the installation fails every time because no hard drive is detected.
I ran a Western Digital hard drive test from a floppy, and it incorrectly recognized the WD740GD as a WD1200BB. I went ahead and tried to run the test, but the test failed due to some undefined problem with the hard drive.
The remainder of the new system components include a Pentium 2.4A Prescott, 2 256 meg sticks of Kingmax PC-3500 SuperRAM, Antec TRUE430 PS and ATI Radeon 9700 video card.
I've assembled about a dozen computers from scratch, and have never been stumped like this! I can't figure out if it's a motherboard problem, a hard drive problem, a compatibility problem or a problem of me missing a setting somewhere.

Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions!
1) I am not overclocking. I'm trying to get the computer to run for the first time with all default settings.
2) I have hit F6 at the start of Windows XP install, and installed the drivers from the included diskette (G72-VASA020 VOA SATA RAID driver for VT6420/VT8237). From the diskette, I've tried to install the SATA RAID driver for Windows XP and the PATA IDE driver individually and together. No matter which one I use, or if I use both, same problem: Windows XP installation does not recognize that a hard drive is installed. I've even installed the two drivers in different order. I've tried every option. Hard drive still not recognized.
3) There are only 2 SATA connectors on the mainboard -- SATA1 and SATA2. I've tried both connectors, and neither works. I even bought a new SATA cable in case the one I received with the MB was bad. Same problem with new cable -- Windows XP installation does not recognize that a hard drive is installed. The AMI bios does not offer SATA Enhanced or Native options nor SATA+PATA combination. It offers "Onboard PATA-IDE," which must be enabled for the CD drive to be recognized; "Internal SATA Controller," which must be enabled for the HD connected to 1 of the 2 SATA connectors to be recognized; and, under "Internal SATA Controller," "Boot ROM Function," which seems to make no difference whether it's enabled or disabled.
I've probably tried to install Windows XP now about 25 times with various combinations of bios options and drivers. A couple of times I've actually gotten to the point where I got to agree with the Microsoft agreement. But the window that it took me to said that I could not install Windows XP on the hard drive that had been identified. There was no option given to format the HD. As I mentioned previously, it still mistakenly thinks that the hard drive is a WD1200BB instead of the correct WD740GD Raptor. But it won't let me do anything with the HD.
Does anyone have any experience starting up the PT880 Neo-LSR with any SATA hard drive attached? The reason I ask is because I want to know if it correctly identified your hard drive on the initial bootup before you even attempted to install an operating system. As I've said, mine incorrectly identifies the hard drive some of the time upon bootup, and some of the time it does not identify any hard drive at all. As far as I know, a hard drive connected to a SATA connector should be properly recognized on bootup.

How compatible about the PT880 Neo-LSR

Dear all,
My old motherboard of 865pe (p4p800-x) is damaged,so now

It is a Pentium 4 board. How can the reviews be anything than mediocre, at best.
I wrote Socket A, but maybe in 2004 you could get an AMD64 system. They ran in eights around the Pentium 4, at a lower power consumption and heat dissipation. Now, I think you could get one at a very good price. This is a mere 180$, even in expensive Sweden: http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=325623

I am agree with you, but I still want to get a P4 board to replace my damaged one ,because it 's a easy and cheap way to solve my problem.

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.

Overclocking an MSI 875P Neo-LSR Bios 2.2

Here is my configuration :
CPU : Intel Pentium IV 3.2C 800Mhz HT
RAM : 1Gb [2x256MB DDR-400 PC3200 Infineon] + [2x256MB DDR-400 PC3200 Kingston]
GC : Club 3D Radeon 9700
MB : MSI 875P Neo-LSR Bios 2.2
HDD : 120 Gb Maxtor 8Mb cache + 40 Gb Western Digital 2 Mb cache
CPU Fan : Zalman CNPS-7000AlCu
Yesterday i tried to use CoreCenter and went to 215MHz (3.6 Ghz i think) with no hitch.
Now my question is with this configuration what can i reach and what to use (CoreCenter or Bios) ?
And which OC for the memory ??
Tx

I think use bios is better because of more flexibility. You can go up to about 3.5GHz.
please read:

MSI 875P NEO LSR versus Corsair TWINX

HI,
I'm about to purchase the following parts:
Mainboard: MSI 875P NEO LSR
Memory: 2 sets of Corsair TWINX 1024PC3200LL (2*512MB).
Is this mainboard capable of handeling 4 modules of the above memory?
I've also seen modules from GeIL, are they any good?
The module i've seen are: GeIL PC3200 Ultra.
I want to run my memory at the following timings: 2-2-2-5T
I believe Corsair is capable of that, but I'm not 100% sure if GeIL is. Atleast my retailer told me so.......
Can you please help me on this one? ;(
Regards,
Arjan

Quote
My Corsair TWINX 3200LL runs fine with 2-2-2-5-8 settings at 400 mhz
Ok, that's good to know
But do you know if the MSI 865 or 875 mainboard can handle Corsair TWINX 1024PC3200LL (2*512MB)? Because it's not mentioned in the memory.pdf file.......
Quote
It may, or it may not, it just depends, running all 4 modules seems to make it harder to run at tighter timings.
Ok, so to achieve tighter timings, i'd better use 2 modules of Corsair TWINX 1024PC3200LL (2*512MB).
It's not cheap by the way..... it costs €375,- here in Holland. So that's why I want to know this memory ''thing''.

MSI 875P Neo-LSR

I have a MSI 875P Neo-LSR. I installed Windows XP sp1 and everything in my computer. All of a sudden it doesn't recognize my CD-ROM Drive. It doesn't let me eject the drive. I see the CD-ROM Drive in the bios, but not in Windows. What could be wrong? I also have the keyboard controller light in the USB indicator bracket light up sometimes I reboot the computer and it locks up.
Motherboard:   MSI 875P Neo-LSR
Memory:   1GB Corsair DDR-400 Dual Channel
Video Card:   ATI 9700 Pro 128MB
PSU:      Antec TRUE550 550watts
AMI® BIOS:   1.3

Goto safe mode and delete the driver. Sometimes when you install SP1 it duplicates the drivers instead of updating them. Once you delete the driver restart into normal and it will reinstall the new driver for the cdrom.

MSI 875P Neo-LSR & Northbridge Cooler

Hi
Hi have a MSI 875P Neo-LSR motherboard and the northbridge cooler is making alot of noise!
I've already cleaned the dust from the fan, added some oil but it stills makes an anoying noise
My question is this:
I don't want to spend €€€ in a new cooler because i'm upgrading my system in a few months so, will my motherboard survive without the cooler? But remaining with the heatsink...
I have a Thermalright XP120 with an 120mm fan in my CPU, which are very close to the northbridge, they might fresh a little the NB... And i got a good airflow in my case...
My MB:

Thank you for your answers!
Do you know the maximum temperature that the NB can get? Or the normal one...
I want to test if it's not getting to hot without the fan

GBLAN failure on MSI PT880 NEO-FSR

On a newly built system using the MSI PT880 NEO-FSR I am experiencing intermittent and frequent disconnects from my LAN. I have tested with both Win2000 and WinXP. When the system boots, I generrally get an IP address and gateway address. If I start a continuous ping on another host, after a short while I start receiving "Hardware Error"messages, and Destination host unreachable. Ny IP in most cases is still good, however sometimes it reverts to autonet. If I do ping successfully for a while and start IE, it fails immediately. I have the link with another system, and it works fine...Any ideas?
Thanks, Gary

I have removed components from the system to simplify troubleshooting...the current configuration (still fails) is as follows:

MSI Pt880 Neo

Hi i am making my own computer... so i bought a X_Dreamer II computer case and then i bought the MSI PT880 Neo and installed it on the case and then i was reading the mother board manual.. and it said that the mother board supports Pentium 4 and upto 3Ghz so does that mean i have to BUY the pentium 4 chipset separate?
This is what it says exactlyon the box :
MSI
VIA PT880 Chipset based
PT880 Neo
Corcell Chip
Designed for Intel Pentium Northwood/prescott (socket 478) processors

Hi,
2.8 or 3.0 Northwood CPU..........
Nvidia 5700 series and above or ATI 9600 series and above, both I consider min for high end GAMER system.......
ALSO, choose PSU carefully......
