PT880 Neo-FSR -- Px8 Neo-V Error in XP and games..

Hi!
OK.. Why is there so many problems with this motherboard? 3 days have i had this card and just problems  ... WHY?   
I have updated the bios to v1.9 Uhh! Now i can come ind to XP without the blue screen saying Hardware error...
But i can't still not play any games... example Underground 2    nice game. the same about all benchmark tools (3dmark)
I have tried old and new drivers! nothing helps.
Thanks!

Everest 1.51 writes it is a MSI Px8 Neo-V (MS-7043) with bus on 800MHz !!!
Thats really nice! The board is a 533 thats oc'et... :(
VIA® P4X533 Chipset
  - Supports FSB 400/533/(((800MHz (over chipset spec.))) <--- WHY
  - Supports AGP 8X interface
  - Supports DDR 400(over chipset spec.)/333/266 memory interface
A did buy it as a PT880 Neo-FSR  (((PT880 = 800MHz)))

Neo-v  http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=593
There is just one thing? my board has 3 memory ports but neo-v has just 2...!
Memtest? Why? My Hardware works 100% on my fiancé's computer... The only thing that is 10% is the motherboard...
I will give back the board and hope my Abit VT7 comes soon...

  • K8N Neo-FSR ~= K8N Neo Platinum

    May have to replace my motherboard -  a K8N Neo Platinum. Have seen the K8N Neo-FSR, from its spec I assume it is the same, apart from only 2 rather than 3 Ram slots?
    Thanks

    Hello !
    You can see both specifications here:

  • K8T NEO FSR bad bios or bad CPU?

    Hi - I just got a K8T NEO-FSR with an Athlon 64 3000 (newcastle) and 512 Meg of Corsair value select memory.  I installed everything fine and tried to install a fresh copy of windows xp home but I kept getting a blue screen of death and a registry error (from the CD!!).
    I then reformatted my drive and put a copy of windows 2000 pro on it.  After updating the drivers, everything seemed to be OK.  But - I was getting a few random problems (CD stopped working, freeze, etc).  I was going to try to install XP but I thought I should probably upgrade the BIOS first just to make sure that wasn't the problem.
    Well - I followed the instructions for updating the BIOS (I've done it before for other systems) and everything seemed to go smoothly until I tried to reboot.  Nothing - it powers up but doesn't do anything.  I assumed that something must be wrong with the BIOS.  I double checked which file I was using A6702VMS.180.
    I then tried a BIOS recovery.  I reformatted a floppy on a windows XP machine and put a copy of the BIOS that I had backed up before the flash onto the disk named AMIBIOS.ROM.  Then I unplugged the power supply and every piece of hardware except the CPU, reset the CMOS, and let it sit for 15 minutes.  Then I reconnected the floppy and plugged in a PS2 keyboard into the back.  Pushed down CTRL and HOME and turned the power on.  Nothing.  Tried it again with each CTRL key and with the regular HOME key and the keypad.  Nothing.
    The LED's on the back panel show all 4 red which the manual says is a bad CPU.  Could my CPU have died somehow?  Did I miss something obvious?
    My power supply is an Enermax 350W with 32A on 3.3V, 32A on 5V, and 17A on 12V.
    Any thoughts?  I'm a little annoyed that I can't find a definitive source for how many amps on each of the rails the main board and CPU need.  I've found widely varying advice on all of the boards I've read.
    Thanks,
    Ted

    1) The PSU that you have is quite weak on the +12v Rail & could be the cause of your problems, most people on here recommend 20a on the +12v Rail.
    I've seen people on various boards throw numbers anywhere from 15A to 30A for the 12V rail.  However, I haven't seen anyone quote any hard sources.  My back of the envelope computations:
    CPU: 89 W (max power from AMD's web site)
    MEM: uses 3.3V
    Floppy: uses 5V
    CD: 20W
    RAM: uses 3.3V
    HD: 15W
    Geforce2 GTS graphics card: 8W
    which gives me about 132W on the 12V rail at maximum power usage (which - since I haven't done anything I doubt I've hit).  This would be about 11 amps which is easily covered by my power supply.  And - the 89W number form AMD is for all the Athlon64 chips of which the 3000 is the very low end so it's probably less than that.
    Quote
    2) You may have faulty RAM & i would recommend running a memory testing program just to check that is ok.
    Could the RAM be faulty even though I had a windows 2000 setup running reasonably well?  The BIOS did do a memory check on each startup (I turned that on when I first installed the board).
    Quote
    As for the system not booting now, sounds like you have a bad BIOS flash & that you will need to get the BIOS reflashed or RMA your motherboard.
    I don't think this board supports reflashing - the chip is soldered onto the board.  Any idea why the rescue procedure isn't working?

    you keep memory freq. in range by setup mem. index. e.g. for CPU HTT 250 with mem. index of 166, will produce memory freq. 200Mhz.

  • MSI-7043 (PT880 NEO-FSR) Boot Problem

    I just installed this motherboard which I purchased on eBay from someone who swears it was working fine before.
    I installed it in the following configuration:
    MSI-7043 PT880 NEO-FSR Motherboard (Rev. 2.0) with BIOS version 2.0
    RaidMax Scorpio case with a 520-Watt RaidMax Power Supply (its older, but digital P/S tester says everything is OK)
    2x1Gig SuperTalent DDR400 RAM <- Was working fine in Compaq PC
    Intel P4 2.4Ghz Prescott CPU (FSB533) <- Was working fine in Compaq PC
    ThermalTake TR2-M12 CPU cooler <- New
    LG DVD-RW Lightscribe 22x IDE Drive <- New 2 weeks ago, was working fine in Compaq PC
    Seagate 320 Gig IDE Drive <- 2 Monthes old, was working fine in Compaq PC
    (Drive is partitioned 1-250Gig Bootable & 1-70Gig)
    Chaintech Nvidia FX5200 AGP Video Card <- Worked fine in Compaq PC
    High quality round 80-pin IDE cables
    No SATA drives installed at all
    The system POST's fine and recognizes all installed drives, but only occasionally will boot to CD-ROM, and will never boot to hard disk, just sits there with a flashing cursor. When it did boot into CD-ROM, I was able to boot Linux and browse hard drive fine. Booted once into MEMTEST and it ran for hours fine with no errors.
    I have tried defaulting BIOS several times, tried several configurations for boot sequence and using F11 Boot Menu. No matter what I do, booting from CD is hit and miss (1 out of 4 times will boot) and it will NEVER boot from the hard drive.
    Interesting thing is if I disconnect the hard disk, it will boot to the CD-ROM EVERY time (sort of), but I do have to wait until it says no boot record found on CD or floppy, then press ENTER to try again it boots
    After searching for through other posts, I have tried increasing the DDR RAM voltage to 2.6v with no change.
    Any ideas??? is there a BIOS limitation to the boot partition size of the hard drive, if so why would this affect booting to the CD?

    Ummm... never had that trouble before... It should at least start booting, or at least recognize the boot sector has a valid boot record.
    Those are all valid ideas, and I appreciate the input.
    BTW, I am not a newbie. I am a telecom, network, and computer technician with almost 20 years of experience. This is just the first time I have had a problem with MSI boards, I use them all the time and they generally work flawlessly. I understand operating system licensing, OEM versions, 32 vs 64 bit, and how to copy files from one drive to another using multiple different ways. I was just hoping that there was something simple going on that I was missing that someone would just say "Yeah, turn XXXXX feature off in the BIOS".
    I put an older 48x CD-ROM drive and a Western Digital 40 Gig in it and it worked beautifully, in the middle of installing Kubuntu Linux right now.
    I actually resized the boot partition down to 130 Gig with Linux Parted Magic and it booted OK.
    I think I actually had two problems with the previous setup:
    1) Boot partition was too large for the BIOS, the entire partition should not exceed the 134 Gig boundry (different sites say anything from 130-138 Gig) for the BIOS on the motherboard according to some articles I googled.
    2) The LG DVD-RAM drive was just too slow spinning up for the bios to recognize the boot partition on the CD or DVD.
    I resized the partition back up to 250 Gig and put the DVD-RAM, Hard Disk, Processor, RAM, and video card back into the Compaq, it is a fast (by standards of the day) and stable machine, I was just looking for a way to add some expansion capabilities for more PCI cards and possibly a SATA drive. Anyway put a 2.0 Ghz Celeron, 768 Meg of DDR266 RAM, a CD-RW drive, and a Matrox G450 Dual-Head 32 Meg AGP card I had laying around in place of of the old and will just delegate this to a Linux box.
    So far all seems fine, think I will just hold off putting too much into this machine since I was planning on building a new one this summer after USB 3.0 came out.
    Thanks.

  • 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?

  • Pt880 Neo Fsr Xp Install Probs

    hi
    just bought a new pt880 neo-fsr(7043-020) and a 512 ocz dual ddr kit.
    i am running a northwood 2.4ghz/533(not overclocked yet) cpu and an ati 256mb 9550 video card(8x agp).450 watt psu with 20amp 12v rail
    my problem is when i try and install windows xp-pro i get an error"the bios is not acpi compatible" the board has bios 1.6 installed out of the box.
    everything else seems ok.
    has anyone seen this before and can they post or email me a few pointers.
    thanks,jeff

    So, you were able to finish off the Windows installation ? No hangs at the bios-message ?
    Bios 1.6 should be sufficient but try with latest 1.7 biosversion.
    When you reinstall WinXP - check that ACPI is enabled in bios before installing OS.
    If you have an ACPI BIOS, but Windows XP Professional is not installed in the ACPI mode, your ACPI BIOS might be noncompliant. Check with your computer manufacturer to see if a more recent, ACPI-compatible BIOS is available. If Windows XP Professional is installed in non-ACPI mode on your computer, and you upgrade to a new BIOS version, you must reinstall Windows XP Professional to enable ACPI mode.

  • [VIA Series] PT880 Neo-FSR...SOOOO ANGRY!

    Hi all,
         I bought my PT880 Neo-FSR around late January/early February and until recently I hadn't been doing anything too memory intensive. Recently I bought World of Warcraft and have had many crashes. First it was tolerable, then when it got really bad i thought it was Blizzard's fault. I checked their boards and went throught their steps to rectify. One of which was the memtest86.
         I ran the memtest and found that my Corsair was bad, both sticks! So i tried some Kingston. All of it also bad. 7 sticks of memory. I thought, "There's no way that could be right." So I ran memtest on another computer, a cheapie eMachine. Every piece of memory i had was A-ok. I thought i'd get a third PC involved for a final say. I ran the memtest again (mulitple passes each time mind you) and again no errors.
         I came here to see if anyone else had a similar problem, and yeah. But no solution for me. This is pretty much my hail-mary. I'd really like help from someone more knowledgeable than myself. I really do not want to buy a new mobo, but WoW is a subscription game...i'd really like to play it as well as edit video, or record stuff with my video card.
         If you have any solutions for me PLEASE, I really need help. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

    ConeJodc, it's not your memory.  Some will tell you it's your pwr supply, some will tell you to change your ddr voltage... it's none of that.  This mobo is crap in my opinion because it's got the VIA name on it.  Everything I've ever owned that had a VIA chipset eventually blew up (usually it was crap to begin with).
    See my latest update in my post regarding this motherboard.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=79880.0
    The same memory that tested bad in my PT880 Neo-FSR runs perfectly fine in my new 865PE Neo2.
    Return it if you can and get the intel based 478 board.

  • PT880 Neo-FSR not booting from SATA device

    Hi everybody!
    MSI PT880 Neo-FSR http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=608
    As read on the topic subject, I'm having trouble trying to boot up using my new SATA DVD-RW. This device works perfect while running Windows XP on my PC, but when I try to boot from it, I simply can't.
    My PT880 Neo-FSR mobo is running the latest avalaible BIOS version (2.0) and Internal SATA controller and SATA boot ROM function are enabled. Looking inside the booting options, I just can't set my SATA DVD-RW as a valid device for booting up (I only see my IDE HDDs, FDD and LAN as booting options).
    This is my first time triying to boot up from this SATA device and the first time I realized that I can actually use it for anything but booting, which is so weird! I even tried installing this device on my brother's PC and booted up succesfully there, so my mobo is the problem here.
    If you're asking yourselves how I installed Win XP on this PC with no CD/DVD booting: My former IDE DVD-RW is now my sister's, so I kept previously instalation and just changed devices.
    I need to run some utlities from a boot-CD and re-install Windows on this PC real soon, so I'd appreciate some help.
    P.S. I tried to do my best with my 'rusty' English, so I hope you could fully understad what I've written above.

    Quote from: Henry on 03-September-08, 14:26:24
    Are you saying it does work but you simply can't boot from it? Have you tried by using the F11 boot menu?
    Yes! This device has been working great, but the only problem I get is when I try to use it for booting.
    I alredy tried using the F11 boot menu and nothing happened... It's so weird!

  • PT880 NEO FSR and Audigy 2 ZS

    Has anyone with this motherboard been able to get this card working without constant and annoying crackling/stuttering during gameplay? I've tried everything mentioned on the Creative forums to resolve the issues I'm having, but nothing has worked. I'm starting to think it's the motherboard chipset.

    I considered that too until I saw phishingtime's sig:

    He's running the card with no problems with a weaker PSU than I have. The only difference is he's running BIOS version 1.9 and I can't get anyting other than 1.6 to run stable on my computer. When he originally replied that he was having no problems with the card, he was also running BIOS 1.6.

  • PT880 Neo-FSR Cant get dimm slots 1 or 2 to read any memory

    i just got a PT880 Neo-FSR so i could upgrade to a 8x agp video card
    but when i got everything installed it only reads my memory at 258mg
    and it says the other slots are emepy but i got a nother stick in them
    power supply is a 550w so i dont thinks thats the prob i tryed messing with all the memory settings in bios still nothen i dont know what else to do

    you have a few choices...
    But before anything, the BKM of this forum, read the  Moan Guide.
    OK, here's your choices:
    1. run  Memtest86 check  if your RAM is faulty.
    2. RMA the board.

  • PT880 NEO-FSR always needs to autodect hard drive

    I have a new PT880 NEO-FSR motherboard which takes 30 seconds to autodetect the harddrives every bootup.
    In the bios, it recognizes my hard drive but does not seem to keep it stored and upon rebooting displays "autodecting pri hard drive..press to abort". This happens every time I boot.
    I have an u-ata 100 Western Digital hard drive that I've stuck on other systems and had no problem.
    My experience with other motherboard/bios is that when I set autodetect in the bios, it recognizes my hard drive, stores that value and upon rebooting does not need to autodetect my hard drive once more.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    manually set the HDD specs, the heads, sectors, and stuff are printed on the disk itself, i almost never use auto detect because it can slow down boot time.

  • PT880 Neo-FSR P4 3.2G with HyperX HELP

    I have been reading the forum for 2 days now    and I'm still unable to find a solution to my problem.  I have tried every suggestion I've found in this forum with no success.  So, as a software dude I'm not the best hardware guy and I'm requesting help from any hardware guru in here. 
    Problem:
    PC reboots constantly or locks up or blue screens this started after I loaded WinXP pro SP2.
    Setup:
    PT880 Neo-FSR (7043)
    P4 3.2G
    Kingston HyperX KHX3200A/512R
    SATA 250GB HD
    Tried Solutions:
    1.  Changing DRAM voltage ranging from 2.6v - 8v (problem got worse or persisted)
    2.  Tried running in different turbo modes. (problem got worse or persisted)
    3.  Tried changing DRAM clock to all kinds of settings.. (problem got worse or persisted)
    4.  Did not try changing any DRAM timing cause I'm not sure of the effect... 
    5.  Upgraded BIOS rev to 2.0 in hoping to fix the issue.  (no effect on problem)
    6.  Will contact Kingston next week for recommendations.
    Thanks in advance for any help suggested besides purchasing new RAM 

    Have you tried update the VIA drivers?

    i followed some advice here (especially the psu debate) and built this march fourth, and it has been rock solid till about 2 or 3 weeks ago.  i was playing the farcry demo and the system reboots.  it happened again today while surfing and i'm kinda baffled as to why.  in both cases the electricity didn't go out, and my ups didn't beep.  it simply makes the sound it always does when it powers off and instantaneously comes back on. (there seems to be no delay) as you can see my psu has more than enough amps and wattage to run the little that i am. no case lights just 2 120mm fans. i ran memtest 86+ when i assembled it in march and no errors after many passes.  so i have absolutly no idea what is going on.  
    anyone have any ideas? i'd rather not flash the bios if i don't have to, as it seems it's the luck of the draw if it works or not on a fsr
    thanks in advance.

    ok i thought i had it figured out but it just happened again. i was using the radeon drivers from hell (cat. 4.6, the one that hosed a lotta boxes) so i downgraded to 4.4 (i'm on dialup, so i get every other driver release) and i had no reboot issues for weeks, but it just happened again. i checked out a number of things, including my u.p.s and think that it is either my mobo or psu.
    has anyone had any problems with capacitors on their amd64 board? i'm thinking it's possible the psu is resetting because it's getting a false power off signal from the board. possibly due to the caps not haviing quite the right capacitance (electrolyte not quite right) it's not a "soft" reset because the you can hear the psu switching. so mabie it's an over-voltage / wrong signal issue?
    has anyone had problems with their enermax psu? i know a few of you have them here because i took your suggestions when the big debate 6 months ago was about which psu to get. any voltage drops/spikes/other abnormalities that have caused any problems?
    and as always, thanks
