[S754 MSI K8T NEO] Some onboard usb ports are 1.1 instead of 2.0 ?

I own a socket 754 MSI K8T Neo FISR2 mainboard. Due to a lot of USB devices I'm using all ports and it seems like some ports are USB1.1 instead of USB2.0 The manual tells me this mainboard has 8 USB 2.0 ports, but only 2 out of 4 onboard ports at the rear (beneath the PS/2 connectors) seems to be 2.0. At 1 internal connector I do also have connected a frontside USB connector which is 2.0 and at the other connector a memory card reader which also seems to be USB1.1.
Can someone explain me this is a 'feature' of this board or do I have to upgrade a driver or something?
In the bios I have enabled all USB-ports and I'm running Windows XP SP2. With Windows Vista Beta2 I even can't get those 'usb 1.1' ports to work.

It's already solved. I just found this topic: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=73390.0
I had to unplug one of the wires (which is connected to pin 10) of the frontside USB connector form my antec sonata case.

    Thanks for helping me

    Yeah.  I remember when I had that board.  I found the best SATA ports were the Promise ones, but...
    What do you think, Tiresmoke?  You had the same board too if I'm not mistaken.

  • MSI K8T Neo - Video switch off, sound glitches

    Hi
    First post, and im hoping someone can PLEASE help me.
    Im currently using the following:
    MSI K8T Neo FISR-2 Mobo (pretty sure thats it)
    64 AMD 3200+
    512 DDR @ 333
    2 IDE HDs
    GEXCUBE 9600XT etc etc
    Now problem 1) I use my computer for work alot, i.e I use Microsoft word, and im typing away getting alot of work done when all of a sudden, blank screen, it acts like i havent touched anything and just powered down the monitor, but no matter what i do i cant get it back up and thus i have to reboot. (This occurs after around 15 odd minutes of work on word)
    -Ive tried everything i can think of, updated whatever, even taken to computer places and they have no idea, rebooted CMOS, havent update BIOS cause im scared but if you got any ideas let me know
    Problem 2) not as bad as the first but my sound, using onboard AC97 and Logitech Z640s i have this weird static shitty background scrathcy noise which is annoying, and i cant get it cleared up.
    -Tried updating drivers etc, sounds not maxed out, even get the sound when i switch off the speakers and plug in my headphonse so...
    If you can help on either of these things please either reply here or email me on [email protected]
    THANKYOU!!!

    For ATI related monitor signal loss issues, check here:
    Rage3D forum direct link
    I personally have a AIW9600Pro and haven't experience the aforementioned problems, so I don't know what to add, but I'm sure these folks at Rage3D forums can help.  It's already upto 15 pages, so there must be some useful info in there...
    For statics, I find that by turning off Mic Gain (or sometimes called Mic Boost) from your Windows Volume control sometimes does the trick.  If you use extension cables, you might want to check for interference, too.
    Hope this helps,

  • [Athlon64] Electromagnetic Interference on my MSI K8T Neo 2 FIR MBO

    I have a system built around a MSI K8T Neo 2 FIR Athlon64 3000+
    Recently I've put a poratable TV near the PC (1.5 meters or so) and noticed quite strong interference on VHF TV channels.
    First I thought that it came from the case itself, but I discovered that the interference practically dissapeared when I unplugged the PS2 keyboard.
    So I thought that it was the keyboard and bought another basic PS2 Logitech one. No difference at all.
    Then I bought a USB cheapo keyboard, only to find out that the interference doubled, at least.
    I tested the interference with my TV, using the room "antenna", actually a coaxial cable plugged in the antenna socket of the TV with the other emd free, and the central vire just physically clamped with a metallic "crocodile" clamp. A loop on that side and this is the best room antenna money can buy!
    I approached the end loop to the keyboard and its cord. I showed an extraordinary amount od unterference. the TV image turned to snow and the sound started hissing.
    My guess is that the Keyboard acts like an antenna for the MBO and transmists interference to the outside, probably trought the voltage line.
    Or I could have flawed keyboards, but tree... and PS2 AND USB!?
    My power supply is not in question. I tried two, high quality ones of different producers - no difference at all.
    Anybody had similar interference experience with this or other MSI boards?
    Did you succeed to solve it?
    I often read that LCD monitors are better for your health because they radiate less, but I tested my old CRT monitor, and it produces much less EM interference than my keyboards!!!
    Any Ideas? Bad MBO?

    What does that option "spread spectrum" do?
    I have Bios 3.3 (I think), I will check if I have this option at all at reboot. I can't remember seeing it?
    The interference is not affecting the monitor,which is LCD, but a small TV set, 1.5 meters away from the PC.
    IT is not coming from the case (which has no transparent side) but from the keyboard(s) and keyboard wires (both USB and PS2 keyboards produce inteference).
    I tested it precisely with a coaxial cable acting like an antenna with a looop at the end and a simple crocodile clamp fixed on the central wire (this produces a very ensitive antenna witch can precisely pinpoint the source of interference. When I approach the loop of he coaxial cable to the keyboard it produces strong "snow" on the TV image and a hissing sound (The TV is set to a local VHF TV station).
    So I guess that the keyboard is acting like an antenna , leading interference from the Mainboard out.
    I did a little search on the internet and it s amazing how many people with various computers have interference problems from keyboards.
    Information comes mainly from radio amateurs who use computers to control sophisticated radio equippment and suffer interference in their reception.
    I bet that many people have it and not being radio amateurs or not having a TV near their PC they are not aware of it. Many of you reading this probably have electomagnetic emissions emanating from your keyboards.
    But what worries me in this story is that these electromagnetic radiations are not exactly healthy.
    I bought a new LCD monitor precisely because I read in many magazines that LCDs radiate less than CRTs. But since it appears that my keaboard is radiating much more than my old CRT, it kind of defeats the purpose...
    These things shouldn't happen because computer components, MBOs included, should comply with FCC standards (class B) and a keyboard should not act as an emitting antenna for  electromagnetic interference from the mainboard. But it seems that many manufacturers are not really complying with EMI/RFI standards.
    This seams to be a very weak point for many computer components, from what I saw on the internet after some Googling.
    Some guy even tested all the computer equipment in his company and found out that 90% were not FCC standards compliant, even if they claimed they were !!!
    Needless to say that I am not happy, and should it appear that MSI is to blame for my problem, they will hear from me.
    I will try some other keyboards, some top of the line this time, made in Germany not in Taiwan. If they produce the same interference, then I will be sure that this is MSI's fault and that the interference is not produced in the keyboard itself but just transmitted to it from the mainboard.

    i have an odd problem. When i first turned it on, the HD was on the Promise Controller. tried installing XP, hit F6, ect, setup would not recognize HD. so i put it on the Via, disabled the promise, installed XP. computer reboots, POST's,  blank screen.
    tried several times, but each time after the Bios and raid stuff, i get a blank screen. now, if i try and reinstall XP, it hangs on the "Setup is checking your hardware configuration..." and just stays there. any ideas?

    18 is the minimum of what people recommend, but you should be ok.
    In BIOS make sure emulation and legacy USB are disable, and set USB ports to 8.

  • [Athlon64] MSI K8T NEO-V : incompatibility with ATI RADEON 9800 PRO

    Hi,
    I read all the subjets on this forum about Radeon problems with MSI K8T NEO motherboard.  Most of the peple can't use their graphic card in all situations.
    My PC is :
    -MSI K8T NEO-V
    -AMD-64 3200
    -Power : 400W
    -ATI RADEON 9800 PRO
    -1 Go DDRAM (2x512 in single channel)
    -Hercules Digifires 7.1
    I bought a new MSI K8T NEO-V with AMD 64.
    The problem is that I can't use the computer in the games with AGP 8X even if I try to enable-disable all the options possibles in BIOS and Windows (fast write ...) : The computer freeze (screen disapear as if there was no video signal), reboot or return to Windows disabling the accelerated mode.
    But in AGP 4X, all the game run without problem with all setups of BIOS !!!
    I tried all the drivers (the new and the old drivers).  Even if all are updated, it freeze.
    There are no BIOS update for my motherboard. I saw that some people had BIOS update for compatibility with some Radeon cards ...
    So, I don't know how to repair the problem because AGP 8X is AGP 8X and not 4X, and my Radeon run fine on other computer, and nothing say that Radeon 9800 pro don't run on this motherboard.
    Does someone have the solution to make it work ? Does a new BIOS or driver update exist somewhere for Radeon cards ?

    What Bas said about 30+ amps on the 12v rail does have merit. Even if you don't use it now there may come a time when you want to upgrade the system and certainly you won't want to buy yet another PSU then. A High end vid card now takes almost as much as the CPU to operate. Now days the 12v rail is the most important. Past systems regulated everything off the 5v railk and 12v was used mostly for powering drive motors. Now though the MB's use the 12v line to regulate all the voltages for the CPU, Chipset and other features as does the Vid cards. 3.3 volt lines are used for memory so we hardly use any 5v nowdays.
    You have an older viod card and that does not eat much 12v but if you upgrade the most likely peice will be the vid card. You could go through this whole thing all over again if you are not careful to plan for that now with a new PSU purchase.
    If the computer shop gives you a bunch of bull about power needs havbe them stop by the forum and we can help set them straight on this. There is more than enough data from MSI and historical data here that suggests that 16a on the 12v rail is certainly not enough. Hey I am not trying to sell you anything. I am just trying to help you get it right. The computer shop is the one trying to sell you something we just feel they are selling the wrong junk.

  • Msi k8t neo fis2r problems part 3

    sometimes when the computer is turned on it just turns the fans and leds on but doesnt boot up...
    most of the time it loads up and i boot to the windows xp cd and i install the drivers for sata and then when it reaches the point of copying the files it will give me a bsod and say that there is a problem with the irql driver and then force me to shut the pc down..
    sometimes it makes it past that and will begin to copy files onto the hard drive, like somehow the data is becoming corrupted..however it will start to say that the files cant copy randomly and it will allow me to retry..they will copy the 2nd time usually..i can keep hitting retry and it will usually go by..it gets to 30 something % and then crashes to bsod just giving me some random error..for some reason the files keep screwing up that go on the sata drive....I just replaced the old power supply that wasnt working with an antec true watt 430 watt power supply, so i know it isnt that..
    i just cant figure out what the heck is going on..any help would be appreciated.my specs are

    sapphire radeon 9800 pro 128 mb 8x agp

    fyi look an your cd sticker ity will show power, consumption, but they are way lower than you would think, hard drives,can be only 10 watts, less then some case lights , and fans, cd are  similar.. your video, is the biggy somewhere between 90~150 watts..yikes .next to the cpu..and the mobo can use 50 or so (not sure about new mobos)  not to mention the ram 1024 is @40 watts or so., dont forget about 25watts per pci card, not counting the sound card which can be double....
    ergo the need for a big psu..
    the combined total ratting on a psu is not the max number that the psu is rated, that is surge value.. so a 500 may only hold 400 sustained , and that will drop as the machine heats up, so in the end your 500 may onlyy pull 366 @50'c...

  • Calling all old MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R users

    Ops i posted this in the wrong forum first time, this is the right place
    This for all MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R users, that have changed to the new MSI K8N Platinum nForce3 250 mobo, if I have the chance to swap to the new board should I do so, or does this mobo have its fair share of problems?
    Is the MSI K8N Platinum nForce3 250, a better board compared to the old MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R? Not taking into account overclocking.
    Like is the onboard sound the same or worse or better in your opinion? Is it any faster at stock? Are there any other advantages?
    Thx Xe

    I had a K8T Neo Fis2r at first.  I got a K8N Neo because I believed my Blue Screens were a faulty K8T Neo.  As it turned out, the Audigy2 I had in there was the problem, because I still got Blue Screens with the K8N Neo, and when I took out the audigy and used onboard my system ran stable.
    I havent had any of the apparent keyboard controller problems, or ANY other problems with the K8N.  My only instabilities have been the Audigy2's fault.
    Havent tried overclocking on the K8N Neo yet, maybe a little down the road.  As far as features go, the K8N has the hardware firewall on it (which I dont use) but apparently its "true" gigabit ethernet is better than the K8Ts.  Dont ask me to clarify that, lol
    btw Got my turtle beach Santa Cruz today and put it in my K8N Neo, crossing my fingers... =\

  • Problems with OC in MSI K8T Neo FIS2R!!!

    Hi!
    I have faced problems when making OC in my Athlon 64 3400+. I do not obtain to increase the FSB for 213Mhz more than without that they occur stopped or reset. I am using 1Gb (2x512) of Ram (Corsair CMX 3200LL PRO).
    In the internet many stories exist that chip VIA K8T800 is not good for OC, because the AGP/PCI cannot be stopped with fixed values.
    Exists some form to obtain with stability in this Mobo one overclock descent, with FSB of at least 220Mhz? The lack of stability in overclock limits the processor very, what it finishes in forcing to who knows to abandon the K8T Neo, passing to a Mobo that uses Nforce3 250, for example.
    If somebody will be able to help with tips to try one overclock for FSB in 220mhz with stability would be very grateful, friends!

    Take your sata drive off and you can overclock higher. There is no PCI/AGP lock so the speeds are affecting your sata drive. 210 mhz. system clock is about the limit before the sata drives start to act up.
    The problem is with that particular VIA chipset. No way around it has been found to work in a practical manner.

  • [Athlon64] MSI K8T Neo FIS2R BIOS Update when? CnQ no workie!

    The MSI K8T Neo FIS2R (MS-6702) hasn't had a BIOS update since 3-4-2005!
    I put a Sempron 64 3000+ in my motherboard, and was very disappointed that it is recognized as an "AMD Unknown Processor".  Sure, it works, but one of the reasons I bought it is in the hopes of getting AMD Cool n Quiet to work.  However, apparently the AMD driver can't recognize the CPU due to the old BIOS on the motherboard.
    Every other MSI skt 754 board supports Sempron E6 revision already.  Why not the K8T Neo FIS2R?  Where have all the MSI BIOS programmers gone?  I have been waiting 2-months for a BIOS update to support the E6 Semprons.  I have asked and begged MSI Tech Support.  I am tempted to switch to ASUS or some other company that is actually timely with BIOS updates.  Only reason I haven't yet, is this board is everything I want EXCEPT for Cool n Quiet not working.  It's starting to look like there is no BIOS update in sight, so I am very disappointed.
    Anyone here work for MSI can confirm there are no plans for a BIOS update?  Because I don't want to wait around for something that's not going to happen.

    Sorry, I didn't mean to imply I thought the mods here are MSI staff... I was just kind of hoping there's MSI staff lurking here, seeing what people think of their products or seeing what people complain about.
    No, pretty much C 'n Q is the only reason I'm disappointed, but it was something I was really set on getting to work since this is a server that's up 24/7, but isn't utilized but maybe 4hrs out of a given day.  I could reduce frequency and voltage, but unlike C 'n Q, it won't automatically increase speed and voltage based on demand - which is something I want since although it's a server, I also use it as a regular PC as well.
    I've even tried the 2.33 beta BIOS with no change, and even found a 5.52 BIOS in their BIOS testing directory.  I guess that BIOS was for a different kind of 6702, although I had pulled out the peripheral modules with AMI's MMTOOL and they looked the same as the existing BIOS, but that BIOS killed my motherboard so it couldn't have been for a regular 6702.  I had to desolder the BIOS chip with a heat gun, reprogram the old BIOS back on it with an EPROM programmer, and solder in a socket.  I guess that shows my dedication to get C 'n Q working!

  • [MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R] 2xCMX512-3200 DDR400 memories (corsair)

    I have this motherboard:MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R (MS-6702) and currently i'm using a Kingston memory and the computer runs fine. But i've buyed TWINX1024-3200 (2xCMX512-3200 DDR400) but when I put only this memories the computer after some time or when booting restart suddenly...
    Could it be about the bios version, my actual version is v1.0 and I'm using AMI BIOS.
    i've runned memtest+ and i get this: http://korpro.org/numb/PICT1348.JPG

    I am in almost the exact same situation.
    MSI Neo-FIS2R
    AMD XP 2800+
    2 sticks of DDR400 Corsair XMS memory (CMX512-3200C2) 512mb each (total 1gig)
    Any combination of memory together does not allow the motherboard to boot. I get no beeping or warning sounds. Everything powers up but the display remains blank.
    Things I have tried in many different combinations:
    TRCD = 5, 4, 3, auto
    DDR Voltage = Auto, 2.7, 2.65
    DDR 200, DDR 300, DDR 333, Auto

    Along with those bios setting combinations, I have tried using several bios versions:
    v2.2
    v2.0
    v1.9
    v1.8
    v1.4 <--- (Stuck with this bios for the moment, since the ami flashing utility HANGS when attempting to erase the boot block in step 2 of flashing procedure for any newer bios.)
    As a consequence of several days of trying unsuccessfully to get both sticks of memory to work, I have given up hope on this motherboard.
    Why is it so difficult to get two sticks of memory working properly on this motherboard?
    Has anyone got another trick or technique or setting I can try that may work?
    Alternatives:
    Scrap the MSI motherboard -- never buy another piece of MSI crap again.
    Buy a single stick of 1gig memory.
    Buy a new motherboard from another manufacturer known to work properly -- at the very least not have these memory configuration issues.
    Worst motherboard experience I have ever had, unfortunately.

  • MSI K8T-NEO won't post from a cold boot

    Alrighty here is my strange problem.  I have my system connected to a surge protector powerstip.  When I power my machine down I also shut off the powerstrip which cuts wall power off from the machine.  When I turn the power back on the and then fire up the computer every single time it will not POST on the first try.  The drive lights cd-roms come on but the HD's never start.  So I hold the power button in for 6 seconds, then hit it a second time, and it boots every time.  Shutting down and restarting is no problem, so long as the power is never disconnected from the system.
    Here is my configuration
    MSI K8T NEO Bios version 1.2
    Athlon 64 3200+ not overclocked
    1 512meg stick of Geil Ultra PC3200 slot 1
    1 512meg stick of Coarsair XMS3200 slot 2
    memory is running at 333mhz 2-3-3-7 all setting are set to auto
    Radeon 9500 in the AGP slot
    Sound Blaster Audigy
    Promise 100 TX4 Raid controller
    2 WD 80 gig SE HD's connected to promise controller
    1 Pioneer PD-115 16X DVD drive
    1 Liteon 411-s I believe 4x DVD Writer
    1 Zip Drive
    Using AMD boxed CPU fan
    Powered by an Antec true 430 +3.3V 28A +5V 36A +12V 20A
    According to core center +3.3 is at 3.31V, +5V is at 5.03V, +12V is at 11.76V
    So anyway its prime stable etc.  But when ever the system has been powered off, and unplugged the first time I power on it always fails to post with the d-link indicator lights indicating a CPU failure.  Hold down the power button and it reboots.  Power the machine off, but don't disconnect wall power powers back on just fine.
    This is strange, since I use the surge protector to turn off speakers, etc!  Its also annoying, I used to have a MSI K7D-L Master 2xXP CPU's with the same hardware witht eh exception of the Geil RAM, and of course cpu, and mobo and never had any problems with a cold boot.  any suggestions?

    Yeah I tried having only one stick of ram in the machine, and it hangs on a cold boot when its been unplugged/or powersupply switched off.  Reboot again and no problems.  I tried just having the geil installed, and the corsair stick installed same problem.  I have ordered a second Geil Ultra PC3200 stick so I'll have matched sticks and will be able to run at 400mhz FSB.  The lack of a manual memory speed setting overide in the bios is frustrating.  Yes I know the speed is more or less set by the CPU but there must be some override mechinism if you can slow it down....  
    I have also tried with just a video card installed, and one stick of ram to see if the problem would go away.  No GO.  One thing to mention is I had a Radeon 9700pro that I got from new egg refurbed that I had to send back becasue the card would not power on when the system was booted, unless you disconnected the power lead got the warning message, and then powered off and reconnected the power lead.  Possibly this card may have damaged something else?  OR the mobo was bad and damaged the card?  The mobo was new, the ram (geil), CPU, and 9700pro were all refurbs.  Everything else was from a previous dual processor system and was working fine.
    Both of the Western digitals are set as masters and each are on their own seperate ide channels.  The Promise FastTrack100 TX4, has 4 IDE channels and the HD's are connect to channel 1 and channel 2 on the FastTrack controller.
    Specifically what happens is if the power has been off, I turn the power on, hit the power button.  Lights come on, the cd-rom drives lights start blinking, fans come on, and I hear this kinda of poping sound out of the speakers like the kind of sound you get when you first power on the machine but it happens a second time about 2 seconds after powering on the machine, and it just sits in this kind of hung up state, hitting the reset button does nothing.  Then I power off power back on and it POSTS, and back to normal.  So long as the system is never disconnected from the power source while it is off, it will power back on the first time.  This is really strange I've never had a system do this before.  I'm beginning to wonder if I just have a bad/faulty board and ought to RMA it?

  • Msi k8t neo fis2r odd post issues

    well, i went over to a friends house, pulled out his ram..put in in my computer..it posted and boot to windows..perfectly..
    so then i go into the bios and up the voltage..so that i can put my old ram back in..it stopped responding when i updated the bios becuase it set the voltage back down to default..so..
    i put my ram back in once the voltage is set to 2.75 v and it booted a few times perfectly..i unhooked everything and came home..well
    now i try to boot the pc and once again it will not boot? is it possible that the cmos got cleared when i unplugged the pc???
    i know my ram isnt bad..i ran it on a friends system while playing games for hours..this motherboard is driving me insane..someone really dropped the ball when they made these..so many issues with having to fool around with voltages etc..cant even get the damn system to post if the voltage isnt up and even then sometimes it seems to not want to ..its crazy..
    i know none of my components are NOT broken because ive stresssed them all fully in other peoples computers..
    if anyone has any clue as to how i can get this thing to post to get back in the bios plz reply..im at wits end
    my system specs are
    athlon 64 3000+
    512mb mushkin special 2-2-2 ram (i will change the timings to the recommended slightly delayed timings but i have to actually get into the bios to make this possible)
    msi k8t neo fis2r bios 1.4

    Southmike is sooooooooo right on that one. I see a lot of folks running stuff on other computers with + results and then nothing on the Athlon64 - equipped systems. Well, I think it's O.K. to a certain point, at least to find out if an item is not defunct. But, most of the problems are RAM and PSU related. After that, I believe the BIOS is the biggest issue. And I think some of our forum readers don't actually understand the settings they mess with. I for one, do not fully understand a few of them myself! That is why it's important to make changes in BIOS one at a time.....if you are not as experienced as a lot of folks here at the forum are.

  • Msi k8t neo fis2r wont post plz help

    I recently updated my bios for the motherboard, and now I can't get the pc to post.  Before I had the pc going but it kept getting gpfs and crashing to the desktop from games..
    I was having problems with it not wanting to post before but I raised the voltage to my ram and fixed that, the problem is that when the bios got wiped from the upgrade it lowered the voltage on the ram..now i just cant get it to post at all..if anyone has any suggestions on how to get this powered up so i can change the voltage again please let me know
    I am only using one ram chip...
    my specs are
    athlon 64 3000+
    512mb mushkin special
    sapphire radeon 9800 pro
    msi k8t neo fis2r mboard
    antec 430 watt 12v - 20a
    i cant afford a new psu and i know this one is ok as my friend tested it in his identical system for 24 hours ..
    my mboard just seems to refuse to post ..i upgraded my bios and the voltage dropped because the update sets the defaults back to default..
    after i upgraded the bios, it posted once, i was in the bios and i saved some settings and restarted..i was going to go back and up the voltage on the ram again so that it would post (i had solved my problem similar to this earlier by upping the ram voltage to 2.75) but it was too late and after it shutdown it wouldnt turn back on
    also, ive tried all 3 ram slots with the chip, and ive cleared the cmos with the jumper 3 times..

    your complete specs may help .. if running two sticks of ram you could remove one stick ... you could also reset the bios using the clear CMOS jumper .. but without more detailed specs ppl will struggle to help you
