[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.

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.

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.

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
Thanks
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.

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:

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.

Power supply problem a little better after unplugging imac for 24 hours

Hello,
I'm currently having power supply problems (at least I hope it's the power supply and not the mother board), similar to many others I've seen on these boards. What I've noticed is that if I unplug my iMac for about 24 hours I can get it to run again for a little while. Unplugging it for a few minutes (or even 8 hours) doesn't seem to help. My iMac won't get much further than the starting chime before it loses power. But it seems to me that unplugging it for 24 hours has gotten me between 5 days to 5 hours of use before I unexpectedly lose power.
Is there anything to account for this or am I just imagining things? Ultimately, I don't think the answer will help me much, but I am curious to know. I'm taking my iMac to a Mac Genius tomorrow to see if they can help diagnose the problem. I saw a little hit in my video today, which was a first, so I suspect the problem may be getting worse. I'll probably be buying a new power supply soon.

I'm having the same problem. They say to restart you have to unplug the power, wait 10 seconds and then plug it back in but apparently it's not enough. I have to unplug for about 30 seconds, plug back in, and wait anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours before it'll start up again properly. The last time I had this issue was in october '06- when I had a new logic board and power supply put in. Now I'm worried because my applecare is expired by about 3 months. I bought the computer in feb. '05. I hope a new board doesn't cost more than what the computer itself is worth but I'm afraid that'll be the case...

Ask your question.MC508LL/A power supply problems, Ask your question.MC508LL/A power supply problems, Ask your question.MC508LL/A power supply problems

I have just replaced my older IMac with a new one because of a cronic power supply problem. Now I see this one is doing the same thing. Is anyone else having the same issues with their MC508LL/A.

I'm with babowa there ... I would suspect the power souce, not the PSU. Where you live could be an issue depending on how reliable and 'clean' the electricity is to your home. If that is ok then it could be the wiring in your house ... if it were mine, I'd need an electrician to check it out.
Personally, I've had computers hooked to my electric service since 1995 and no UPS (despite recommendations) and never encountered a problem with the computers ... many electrical issues (brown outs, outages, etc), just been fortunate they didn't affect my machines.

Asus power supply problems

I am considering a new Asus netbook but have been reading a lot of failure issues on their power supplies going clear back to Sept. Even as soon as December I find people saying they cannot get them replaced because Asus says they are still out of stock. Has anyone got any updated information on this?

As I said I am considering purchasing a new Asus netbook. I do not have one yet. If you look at even the Best Buy customer ratings you will see several with the power supply problem. The internet is full of these complaints on other web sites.

Replacing Power Supply Problems

Apple Care had kindly sent me a new power supply. It is a self servicing part, i.e. I have to install it myself. Tried for 2 hours yesterday to get the old one out...didn't work.
The problems:
1. Middle screw on back of power supply does not get loose [the screw close to the power cord connector]. I tried to pull the power supply up while loosening screw...no success. Did anybody run in the same problem...how did you get this screw unstuck?
2. Middle case screw [the one at the bottom of the computer] needs to be turned to the right...which is in contradiction to the downloadable manual...but the front ot the screw still touches the power supply...and possibly holds it in.
How easy should the power supply come out...how much force can I apply without breaking the computer's case?
3. Ambient light sensor connector: comes as separate cable. Since I have not gotten the old power supply out, I do not know how to connect the cable to the new one. There does not appear to be a designated hole on the power supply.
Experiences welcome!
Thanks

hi Jurgen.... i just get a new imac g5 and it presents power supply problems the very first day they bring it... so the retalier took it for a repair..i been wating for two months and no sings of a solution... i am looking for help but i can't reach anyone at apple .... so i need some tips here... what should i do?? i tried the chat agent but they are closed..and the retailer refuse tho give enough info to check out about the repair status..they keep saying that the frabric respond very slow and then that the new part they recieved from apple was defectous... well.. if anyone can give me some tip would be very nice and usefull.. i really don,t now what to do... some email to inform apple the situation ?.... thanks for read this...

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.........

K8T Neo FSR Unusual Power Supply Problem

Hi folks! I've been using my Neo mobo for a couple years now. Recently I noticed the 3.3V line was dropping. It steadily over a week's time went from 3.3 to 2.6. At 2.6 I was getting constant artifacts and instability. Thinking of course that it was the power supply's fault, I replaced it. This one lasted two months, but just like the other, started off fine, then 3.3 slowly dropped to 2.6.
Is there anyway this can be something other than the power supply? I'm utterly confused; two power supplys shouldn't die slowy on the exact same line.
Thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thx!

Edit 2: Just a note, ALL other voltages were stable. It was ONLY the 3.3v line that droped.

Quote from: Bas on 30-January-06, 05:16:17
The onlything that could cause that is bad-connection between the connectors....ergo like not pushed in far enough....
(could be because of fluids too, but I find that rather unlikely)
Both those cases seem unlikely...I know for a fact there were no fluids, and I'm 99.9% sure the cable was inserted properly. Doesn't it mean something that it was ONLY the 3.3v cables that were burned?
BTW, what makes you think it's the video card? Since it's getting power from a molex that only has 5v and 12v lines, why would it need 3.3?

MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU power supply problem

Hello !
I am a lucky owner of MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU motherboard but have one problem. My power supply Fortron (FSP Group) 300-GT 300W seems to have some kind of incompatibility with this motherboard. In my case, the computer can't be shutted down by software. With BIOS version 2.5 it was impossible to shut it down with button too. With 2.6 it is possible to turn the computer off by button but software shutdown still don't work. PSU is working on ALL other boards I have tested so far normally. Somewhere in discussions (not in this forums) I discovered that also some kind of weird sounds occurs with Fortron supply on this board and that it is incompatible. Have anyone some clues to solve this PSU problem ? I am not able momentally to buy some other kind of PSU because Fortron is the only brand from higher category to obtain, so I would be like to solve this.....
Thanks for any info !

From BIOS v2.6 it is possible to shutdown the computer by power button. If it is tried by software, computer resets itself and three beeps occurs.

IMac G5 20" power supply problem

The power supply on my 20" G5 recently fried. Somehow I had the activity monitor showing that the "FaxJobMgr" was using about 70% of my cpu. I had had that problem before and the computer was very warm. I quit that process but shortly after that there was an acrid smell that I ultimately found was coming from the power supply. When I re-started everything came up to the desktop but then it shut down just as if the plug were pulled. I see that there were many issues with the power supply on this first generation G5. I took it to the Apple Store and they say it is the power supply AND there appears to also be damage to the logic board. $734. I'm wondering if maybe its only the power supply and they are just being cautious that there might be damage to the logic board so just replace it or buy a new computer. I thought I might try to replace the power supply only, but then that seems to be about a $120 that might be gone. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Generally speaking, the defects which affect a logic board and power supply in that family of products are similar, but there typically exists no causal link between them. It is possible to have a logic board affected by the defective electrolytic capacitor issue, a defective power supply, or both.
You can readily determine if the logic board is defective by examining the clusters of capacitors on the logic board for bloating, distended tops or leakage. If they exhibit such symptoms, your logic board can be repaired for $ 189.00 by contacting this company.
You may also need to replace the power supply, thought that determination is best made once the logic board as been verified as good or bad, and replaced, if you elect to do so. Power supplies for this product family generally cost roughly $ 139.00, and are user replaceable. Replacing the supply in a unit which exhibits the defective capacitor issue will not correct the logic board related problem, and may—under relatively rare circumstances—cause the eventual failure of the replacement supply.

IMac G5 bluetooth + airport + power supply problems - oh and the dvd drive

Yeah, seems like a lot is going wrong with my mac lately. I bought the iMac G5(no isight) model last year around july. I had some power issues (i.e. leaving the house with it turned on to come home and find it off) For the last year though that was all that was wrong. Once I had to reinstall OS X because it would not find the OS X harddrive during one of these power losses, but that was it.
Then about two weeks ago, I came home to a turned off iMac. I thought the power had gone out in my apartment, but the clocks were all right, and to my surprise the iMac would not turned on. Because I am not under warranty I searched online and found an extended exchange program for my emc model. (http://www.apple.com/support/imac/powersupply/repairextension/) I made an appt at the apple store and they replaced the power supply.
I got the machine back two nights ago and my bluetooth hardware wasn't recognized. And I now had a new "ink" system preference panel in the hardware section which aparently is some sort of handwriting recognition tablet. It ticked me off, but I just wanted to use my computer.
Well today I came home from work and my computer was acting funny. Everywhere I clicked brought up dashboard. This had never happened before and I had no choice but to force a shutdown. Powered it back up and poof, there goes my airport card. No hardware recognized. Now I have a 25 ft cable running the floor of my apartment. This was cause enough to call apple. I was told to make another apointment to bring the computer in. The guy made it sound like it was no big deal to lug a 30 lb bulky computer 40 miles and through a crowded mall. He also made no promises that the repairs would be covered under the exchange program.
I just wanted to hear any suggestions before I decide whether or not its worth it to bring in the computer. Nothing shows up in system profiler under bluetooth or airport. Should I just lie to the "genius" and tell them that my computer still shuts down randomly? I think that way they would at least replace the logic board (which I think is the problem) before telling me to sell my kidney and pay for repairs. I've tried reseting the SMU, and I looked at the bluetooth and airport cards to see if they had been accidently disconnected during the PS replacement. They are actually screwed into the logic board so I think their connections are efficient.
Oh and about the DVD drive. I have to use two cd's in order to burn a single disc. The first disc I put in the drive NEVER works. It spins for about 30 seconds then starts buzzing like blender and spits the cd back out. The second blank disc I put in USUALLY works, but sometimes it takes three discs. This problem has always been there since day 1, but I don't burn enough cd's for it to be an issue.
Thank you for listening to my gripes. I really don't think I'll make the mistake of buying the first issue of a model.
iBook G4 900mghz, iMac G5 20" 2.0 ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

OK, first thing -to restore your bluetooth, shut down, unplug for a few minutes and then reboot. Thay usually brings the BT back. You should also repair permissions. Reset your SMU nd your PRAM as well.
Try those four things and please post back,
