RAM update on my PT8 NEO-LSR

Hi guys,
    I want to update my memory and was wondering what RAM i should get. I have a P4 3.00Ghz and I hear that the minimum I should have is PC3200. I have seen some new ones about PC4000 etc and was wonderinif they would be compatible with my motherboard. Also another thing I'm not to sure about is if dual channel memory would be compatible to.
      Thanks  

All of that info is in your manual.  You can download an electronic copy from msi's board pages.

  • PT8-Neo LSR and Radeon 9700pro

    Ok so I bought my new MSI board for my 2nd PC and happily installed the P4 2.4 cpu (northwood 533fsb non-ht, this is my 2nd box after all) and 1gb ram.
    Placed in the Radeon 9700Pro (with Arctic Cooling vga silencer) and everything worked great.. in fact I was very impressed with the performance.
    Then this morning, I succumbed to the bright idea of .. hey I wonder if there are any updates for the bios or drivers? (   ) So installed Liveupdate 3 that came with the board, and after it had run and repatched itself twice it told me, your bios is out of date.. here's ver 2.00..
    So I downloaded it, made the dos floppy, and flashed the bios (a procedure I've done many times over the years) and set the new bios up.. win2k booted fine, and everything was great until... I opened internet explorer, and the radeon promptly crashed, the ATI software recovered it, but everytime I tried anything remotely concerning graphics, the Radeon crashed. This espicially happened with anything 3D of course, but also would happen frequently with 2D gfx also.
    To cut a long story short, after experimenting (like all damn day  ) with every bios for the PT8 Neo-LSR available, it seems that version 1.1 is the ONLY bios for the board which supports the Radeon 9700pro card under win2k at least. Or rather the only version that works for me and allows me to run games and stuff without Radeon stopping responding.
    System isn't overclocked, and neither is the Radeon btw.. so I think I have the system working again now with v1.1 of the bios, but I haven't tested it a lot yet.. but at least it loads the radeon screen savers without crashing so far.

    Yeah..
    system is as follows..
    Msi PT8-Neo LSR
    Pentium 4 2.4C 533fsb (non-ht)
    1gb 266 ddr ram (2x 512mb)
    Connect 3D radeon 9700pro 128mb (Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer in perma High mode)
    Creative SBLive value!
    IBM Deskstar 60gb ide1 master
    Seagate Barracuda 30Gb ide1 slave
    Plextor cd writer ide2 master
    Seagate Barracuda 80Gb sata 1
    I think the idea mentioned before might be worth a shot... I can feel a full install of windows coming on.. more self torture  
    Edit
    Yes, during the course of the day I did install the latest ati catalyst drivers and dx9 also..

  • PT8 NEO-LSR setup problem

    Hi, I just bought a PT8 Neo-LSR (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=488) With 512 DDR pc-3200 RAM, WD 80gb hd, P4 300-800 CPU. His ATI 9600XT 256 Mb AGP video
    Put everything together in a brand new case.
    Turn the power on. THe fans ARE working either on the CPU and the video card, but that's all. no signla, no beep no nothing. I put the plug in JPW1, put my memory in slot 1. The thing I see is the jumper on JBAT1 who is in 2-3 (clear data). I tried to put it in 1-2 but then NOTHING moves.
    Any idea of what I did wrong ?

    had the same problem whit the same board.
    the store selled me a rma one (i think).
    mouse 'did not work(ps2)
    no jumpers on front audio connectors
    cmos jumpers was wrong (clear data)
    no ide cabels and driver cd.
    just get it back to the shop for a new one
    the one i have now works fine

  • PT8 neo LSR

    I have a PT8 NEO LSR, p4, 512 ddr, 2 ata hdd 1 maxtor 1 fugitsu , 1 sata hdd (maxtor), SB live 1.5 digital , Gforce fx 5600.
      now down to the problem, when using the SATA maxtor drive to boot. windows starts up no problem, sound works, but when using a 3d aplication (opengl / TL) the graphics are choppy as if there is a textuer problem or no textuers at all,  at first i thought it was the card so i put a 5700 in my machine and it did the same, then i thought it was the hard drive got it replaced and still the problem arises, i have updated my bios +mobo drivers and stil i have this problem tho when booting from ide the problem dose not arise, is this caused by the sata not being in an array (as it needs 2 drives for an aray) or is there another solution
    any help would be apretiated thanks

  • PT8 Neo SATA Raid Configuration Utility

    I recently upgraded my system which was running a AMD athlon 1.2GHZ processor and only 128mb SDRAM.  The system was stable and running windows XP home edition.
    I upgraded to the PT8 Neo motherboard which supports SATA hard drives.  I was expecting a dramatic increase when I upgraded my system to the new P4 800mhz FSB 3.0GB processor and 512MB DDR 400mhz ram.
    I was still using my WD 60GB EIDE Hard Drive when I upgraded the Motherboard, Ram, & Processor.  The upgrade went smoothly and system worked without glitches.
    Unsatisfied with the increase in performance, I also purchased a Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10000 RPM hard drive using the SATA interface cable.
    I have updated the bios of the motherboard and updated the driver for the SATA raid controller using Live Bios Update 3.
    I am having 2 problems:
    Problem 1.  When I enter the bios for the SATA Raid configuration utility after the initial post by pressing , none of the selections are available.  I move my arrows down but nothing highlights and I can't select anything in the configuration utility except ESC key to exit.
    The SATA controller is enabled in the BIOS.
    The initial SATA Raid Configuration displayed immediately after the post, does show the hard drive.
    I want to be able to boot from the new WD Raptor Hard Drive and transfer all the existing files from the IDE Drive to the SATA drive, but I can't seem to get the drive to initialize, format, fdisk, etc.
    Problem 2.  Windows XP doesn't have enough resources available to activate the VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller in Device Manager.  It shows a Yellow ! and returns a code 12 (This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use).  I have tried disabling several items in the bios including LAN support, On board Sound but nothing seems to work.
    Keep in mind, I have downloaded the latest bios, latest drivers, etc.
    The rest of the components on my machine are as follows:
    1.  Custom Built Computer (Non-Branded)
    2.  60GB Western Digital 7200 RPM IDE Hard Drive on IDE0 (Master)
    3.  DVD Rom on IDE0 (Slave)
    4.  MSI 52x32x52x CDRW on IDE1 (Master)
    5.  Zip 100 IDE Drive (Slave)
    6.  Floppy Drive
    7.  Pentium 4 3.0GZ 800mhz FSB
    8.  512mb DDR 400mhz Memory
    9.  ATI All-In-Wonder PCI Video Card
    10. SIIG Firewire controller
    I have already tried removing the SIIG firewire controller thinking that it was getting in the way of available resources.  That did not work.
    I have invested alot of money on this system, I wanted the best and have always used MSI motherboards because of their stability and reliability.
    Please help as soon as possible.
    Thanks

    first off you are only using one SATA so no option are avalible in Raid Bios
    in order to install windows the safe way detach your 60ata hrad drive plug in the raptor and install windows then Press F6 at the begining the you will have to the SATA diskett in the floppy drive  in stall SATA windows drivers continue with install.
    once you are fished Windows, drivers then shut down and plug in your ATA hard drive turn on your PC enter the bios navagate to the Advanceed BIOS Features/Boot Sequency selected your SATA raid drive as First boot then CD roms as second. then your done boot in to windows

  • Unable to install WIndows98SE/Me in Neo LSR?

    Hi to everybody.  I have a very strange problem.  Perhaps you can help me.
    I never tested my Neo 875P with Windows 98 SE or ME.  I have installed Debian 3.0 sarge (the testing version) with kernel 2.6.3 and Windows XP SP1, without problems.  I used to had a Windows 2000 Server for testing purposes, without any problem.
    Yesterday, I tried to install Windows 98 SE.  I did this some months ago, but didn't work because the mobo had 1GB of memory (M$ recognizes Win9x and Me can't run with more than 768MB of memory).  I thought it was the reason and give up.  But, today, I have 512MB of memory, and when I try to install Win98SE doesn't recognize ANYTHING (including chipset).  There is a big yellow warning in the ACPI part and, whe I double-clic it, the dialog says the ACPI driver can't be started because "the system says it has two ACPI buses, so try upgrading the BIOS"   I have AMI 2.0.
    I think the BIOS isn't the reason, but Win98SE.  Probably the ACPI implementation in Win98SE is too old for understand the new ACPI version.
    I tried WinME, but the effects is worst: it didn't make it after the second reboot.
    Do you know the reason? Thanks in advance.
    My system:
    875P Neo-LSR, P4-2,40cGHz running at 3,12GHz (260MHz × 12)
    512MB RAM in Wintec DDR333 (running at 173/346MHz)
    BIOS 2.0

    Maybe you could take a look in your Quick User's Guide at Troubleshooting
    For the 865 boards:
    Q:Can i use more than 512MB memory on Win9X or WinME?
    A: No, you can't. You can only use more than 512MB memory on W2000 or WinXP.
    Maybe its the same problem for the 875 boards.
    Wrong you can use, (and tested upto 1.5Gb mem with Win 98Se or ME).  
    15. Win9x “Out of Memory” error using 512MB and over
    Win9X can use up to 2 gigs RAM memory but you will have to edit the system.ini file by adding MaxFileCache=256000 to fix the out of memory bug.
    Click Start > Run type Sysedit.
    Click the sysedit.ini tab scroll to the [vcache] section, if the section isn’t there, add it.
    Add MaxFileCache followed by =25600 with no spaces so that it looks like this: MaxFileCache=256000.
    Also, check link: http://www.abxzone.com/forums/showthread/t-43835.html
    The other thing, with Win98 not loading/installing. The proper way is to build system with Fat16 or 32 OS first and then place NTFS OS on for dual/multi boot.
    I'm sure this will help.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Neo-LSR won't boot at all

    Hi,
    my 2.60C + Neo-LSr + 2 256MB Samsung PC3200 combo doesn't seem to like to work with each other. The fans and chipset light show work fine and the D-Bracket shows 4 green lights, but the screen remains black. It doesn't matter if I use 1 or 2 sticks of memory, it just won't boot.
    Is there any general Problem with Samsung RAM  and this motherboard ?  Any way I can solve this problem ?
    Thx in advance,
    yoshi
     

    Only way I read here so far was to look for one PC2100 stick,go into bios and set vdimm value a bit up,most PC3200 worked than.
    I have Samsung Ram,working fine,but only PC2100,so no compare.

  • Speedfan and PT8 Neo-v board

    I have a PT8 neo-v board with a pentium 4 2.8 (800) processor and 512MB ram for which I am trying to use Speedfan to control the speed of the CPU fan. I have set speedfan up as instructed and it shows the speed percentage altering correctly as the CPU temperature changes but the fan speed does not change and is always the same at approximately 2200 RPM. I have no other fan connected to the board so it must be reading the CPU fan speed.
    Does the board require any modifications in the bios to allow speedfan to alter the CPU fan speed or does this board not allow any alterations of the CPU fan speed?
    I have a power supply that is rated at 30 amps on the 12 volt line but I noticed that the temperature graph on speedfan would suddenly drop by 5 degrees and then return immediately to the previous level. I logged the voltages, fan speed against the CPU temperature but there was no alterations in these when the temperature dropped. I am wondering wether to return this board for another make of board as I also have problems running the ram at DDR333 and these problems may be related to each other.

  • 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.  

  • 875 P neo-lsr boot problem

    Hello all, I've got the following problem with my 875 P neo board:
    The system fails to power on properly 95% of the time.
    Sometimes the hdd inits and the nb fan goes on, sometimes it doesn't. The LED's gives either an keyboard controller or AGP initing display diagnostics message. The system never comes as far as lighting the display in the cases when it doesn't work. The system boots in 1 out of 10 cases so switching it on and off until it works is the only way to boot it.
    When fully booted it works perfect though.
    I've tried changing graphics card and keyboard but with no sucess, also tried setting the memory voltage to 2.70 with no real increase in sucessful boots.
    Sometimes when the system actually boots it reports that the 'memory timings are set too tight, resetting' even thoyugh I've set the settings in the bios to 'slow', although it does not report this on all sucessfull boots.
    I've got the following specs:
    Pentium 4, 3000 Mhz, 800 FSB
    TwinMOS 512 MB, PC3200, CL 2.5 RAM (Approved by MSI)
    Super Flower / Le pont 420 W PSU (P4 approved)
    MSI 875P NEO-LSR
    IBM 75GXP hdd (master on chain 1)

    Keytronics brand new 'standard' keyboard
    MS explorer optical 3.0 USB mouse
    BIOS rev 1.6
    I've tried changing the graphics card and keyboard for other products from microsoft and gainward.
    Anyone got any idea what could help me?
    Best regards =).

    One thing that makes me wounder:
    For some reason the multiplier is set to 203 x 15.0 when booted (according to corecenter), but in the bios it says 200 x 15.0 (with my 800 FSB 3 Ghz p4).
    Now the thing that makes me wounder is why is it doing this as it results in a speed increase to 3043 mhz?
    I should note that my P4's multiplier is locked and cannot be changed in the bios...
    I'm having the same ''problem''.
    Are you currently using BIOS version 1.6?
    Because with my BIOS version 1.2 nothing appeared to be wrong with the FSB and CPU/ memory clock.
    Then I Flashed to v1.6 and it overclocked my system.
    My CPU is now running at 3043MHz with a 811MHz FSB ( Core Center says 203*15) and my memory is also running at 811MHz.
    Can you check the clocks of your graphics card? Because my Radeon 9800 Pro was running in v1.2 at stock speed (340MHz/380MHZ) and now with v1.6 at 351MHz/391MHz.
    I don't mind about this ''overclocking'', but when it fu**s up my hardware I can't blame MSI because they are not responsible for overclocking X(

  • 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.

    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?
