[SIS Series] 649 neo-V boot problems

2 weeks ago I bought a computer with msi 649neo-v. when I turn the computer on it don't want to boot from HDD. after reset it boots everytime. only the first boot is allways unsuccessful.
(celeron D 326, 512 MB ram, SATA HDD 80GB (i think seagate) and some radeon)

It is not usual for all 3 mobos to breakdown with the same problem.
I would still suggest that you give me your PSU specs amps as it is critical to let me know if it is the main cause of the problem.
Next, the BIOSes can be found in www.msi.com.tw/index.htm > mainboards > Archive > Model / Part Number > BIOS.

  • [SIS Series] 649 neo-v ide 2 problem

    I have problem. I cant find anything on ide 2 i have tried everything. What shell i do??????

    The problem is really simple, the motherboard can not detect both my DVD:s at the same time. If it could be that simple to solve, but no. 
    The motherboard is a Neo-V Sis 649. I have 2 DVD:s, 1 NEC 3540 and one Samsung SH-W162. (Both are DVD:writers) My OS is XP Proffessional. The graphics adapter is a Gforce N6600 PCI-Expess.  I purchased a computer (not assemled) and tried to get things to work. At first, I connected the HD on the primary IDE (at the outer connector on the IDE cable, I have never moved it since - this must at least be correct) The HD is strapped as CS. I connected a DVD on the inner connector on the same cable and the other DVD on the outer connector on the secondary bus. I created a C: partition on the HD (not the whole HD space). Then i installed the OS. At first things seemed to work. After the OS was installed I created more patrtitions on the HD and then the problems started. One thing I am not absolutley sure of is if both DVD:s did detect at that time, sorry I don't remember that.
    When I had created more partitions i discovered that only one DVD appeared in the system. The BIOS could not detect it either, because of that I don't think that the DVD was detected from the start. (It cannot be a OS problem) It was the DVD on the inner connector (on the primary bus) that was detected. I have tried to put both DVD:s on the secondary bus, I have swiched places and both DVD:s can be detected, just not at the same time. That rule out any malfunction with the DVD:s according to me. I have strapped the DVD:s as CS, Master, Slave in all combinations and in all posistions but only one DVD detects. I have change IDE cables, I have flashed BIOS to v 3.1, CMOS reset, but no difference. I have checked in BIOS so both IDE channels are enabled and they are. The problem is still there, the motherboard seems not to detect anything on the secondary bus but the primary bus seems to work allright. "OK - it must be the motherboard then..." -  it was brand new but it is of course possible that it is broken the same. After a contact with the shop where I bought it, I got a new board. But no, the same problem was there - no difference at all.
    I think I tried everything, I dont know what to do next - If you could help me I would be eternelly grateful! 
    If you want some more specifications, just let me know.

  • [SIS Series] 649 Neo-V Restart Proublem

    Hii,my proublem is restarting the pc,on the boot screen if I hit ctrl+alt+del the system restarts but when logged on windows and click the restart,the system hangs and cant reboot,same proublem occurs 'auto restarts' when installing windows.
    I am using 512MB Kingston PC3200 ram,Intel Pentium 4 processor 506+(2.66 GHz),SATA HD,windows XP Professional edition with SP2,and from the bios menu I have chosed "load optimal settings" .What may the proublem be and how can I fix it?

    Have you got all the necessary drivers installed?

  • MSI K8t NEO + Audigy Boot Problem only when power is unplugged on the PSU

    I ran into a really weird problem today.
    I switched the ps off by reaching back and pressing the button. I repress the button to power on the ps, then I click on the button in the fron of the case to power up the machine. System keeps rebooting itself every 1 sec. Bracket shows 4 red lights. In the manual, it says it means bad cpu. I remove the audigy and it boots fine. I install the audigy, 4 red lights.
    So, This time instead of turning the puter off by using the button on ps. I used the button on the case by holding it down for 5 seconds. I reboot and puter boots normally.
    So the problem is, if i turn the puter off by using the button on the PS and with audigy in the syste. Nothing on screen, and puter keeps rebooting itself every one second. Solution is to turn the puter off by using the button on the case.
    Has anyone ran into this problem? I have never had this kind of problem. It is really weird. Any feedback is apreciated.
    Oh and it is only with audigy. I tested this with original live, and also other PCI cards like nic, and another cheap sound card. Non of these cards showed this problem.

    Cavemankr!
    I never knew you could shut down the computer by holding down the start button for 5 seconds.... well I've never really had the need to...until I got this K8T Neo job. I wondered why it wouldn't turn off when I just pushed it. I've been using the PSU switch with these problems.
    Yep! She booted right up. Audigy back in action. I also realized I had my PC hooked straight in the wall (while checking to see if my surge protector was working this weekend), so turning off the surge protector wasn't cutting power to the cheapo PSU.
    So put me in your camp!
    I'll just plug the PC straight into the UPS and keep power fed to the Enermax. I hope that was the cause of my keyboard/mouse cold boot problem also.
    I'll assume the cheapo PSU will behave similarly. I don't really want to go through the swap again.  
    I wonder why that happens!

  • 649 Neo-v booting loop

    Hey guys, I installed my components on a 649 neo-v motherboard, however when it comes to loading windows XP,( on the loading screnn) it reboots its self and goes throught the bios and loading prosess again. i have made sure every conector is in its correct palce and made sure there are no dust issues or anthing like that.
    I have installed:
    Intel pentium 4 3.4 ghz
    2gb RAM (2x1gb)
    pcie X1300 ATI radeon graphics
    160gb Harddrive
    350w PSU
    Can any one help me with this problem?

    You mainboard battery may need to be replaced.
    Check IDE settings in BIOS, in "Integrated Peripherals" make sure that IDE channels are configured to Legacy/Native Mode.

  • MSI 848P Neo-V boot problem

    Hi!
    Boot problem still persists. First I thought it was due to the lack of CPU microcode support (tried to use Celeron D 325, I didn't get confirmation for this support from anywhere, a bit disputed thing). Now tried with a 2GHz northwood Celeron with no success. All parts are unused. Maybe my memories (2 x TWINMOS DDR-400MHz 256MB with m-tech chips) are not compatible with the motherboard.
    Just came to my mind, does P4 systems require a heatsink for a POST operation, mean is there some sensors which make the CPU to refuse to work if no cooler is attached to mainboard? I tried to make things work traditionally without heatsink for a quick lookup...
    -Thanks,
    netnode

    I did not understand. Is heat sink mandatory? At least P3 and earlier did not require heatsink. Once a boxed P2 (buil-in fan) required to attach the fan cord to the mainboard to boot up, so I also did this.

  • Neo-FSR boot problems

    this past week i built my brother a amd64 2800+ system with a neo-fsr mobo and 1 512 stick of mushkin ram
    hes using an Aspire 520 watt PSU to power this stuff wtiha  gforce 5900 FX ultra card
    ok now heres the prob
    at first everything seemed fine, but we had trouble booting up on 1 or 2 restarts but a quick power down and restart would genearlly allow the computer to boot into windows
    now it wont boot at all, when it gets to the windows logo it just hangs with no HDD activity at all its weird
    BUT! if he holds the insert key down and resets the DMI pool it will boot almost every time
    i flashed his bios to 1.3 shortly after we installed everything and this has been happening more and more ever since
    anyone know why?
    btw i have 2 hard drives installed but one is bad i think but i havnt had a chance to unplug it from the IDE cable (its on the Primary Master side of the cable while the HD that windows is installed on is on the Primary Slave)
    could this be causing the problems?

    There just seems a problem with some mobos and keyboards.
    Usually it's a PS2 thing, but looks like you have found another to add to the list.

  • P35 Neo Combo, boot problem? [FIXED]

    ** PROBLEM SOLVED - Tech support told we that if there was any way to update the BIOS to version 1.3 then I should do that. I found a way and after that everything have been running smoothly.
    I would like to thank everyone that helped me in here and hope that my experience and the solution might come in handy to someone else. **
    **This thread have been updated with more information and an alteration of the story as my experience with the board/BIOS grew larger, and some information was given to me by at kind person in this thread**
    Hello everyone. 
    Some days ago I got some new hardware and put it all together but I ran into a big problem.
    Specs of the new machine:
    Case: Arctic Cooling T2 Pro, Miditower, 500W
    Psu name: AX-500F, specs:
    +12v: 14 A (15 A peak)
    +12v2: 16 A (19 A peak)
    +5v: 25 A
    +2.3v: 30 A
    -12v: 0.5 A
    +5vSB: 2.0 A (3.0 A peak)
    This information is a direct quote from Artic Cooling's homepage:
    Power Supply
    The AX-500F is a power supply optimized for high end PC's and complies with Intel's ATX12V version 2.0. The continuous output power fulfils gaming system requirements based o­n multiple VGA boards.
    The AX-500F was tested with the following configurations:
    AMD Athlon FX-62 CPU
    2 GB Ram
    2x ATI X1950 XTX (Cross Fire)
    Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU
    2 GB Ram
    2x NVIDIA 7950 Gx2
    I also did try booting with a more powerful PSU but still no luck, and from what I can see then this one should be powerful enough
    Mobo: MSI P35-NEO-Combo-F, Intel P35, Ver. 1.0, BIOS ver. 1.2
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750, BOX
    Ram: Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4, 2x1024MB 2.1v
    Graphics card: Inno3D GeForce 8800GTS, 320MB, PCI-E
    CD-rom: Lite-On DVD/CD
    HDD: Western Digital Raptor 74GB
    OS: Windows XP 32bit
    When I turned it on for the first time nothing happend, no picture no error sounds although I could see and hear that the computer was on. I turned it off and then on again, nothing, I turned it off and then on again and something happend.
    I got a red text message saying that my overclocking attempt was unsuccessful, which I found pretty odd cause this was the first time the computer was on. I have now been informed that it's a fail safe build into the BIOS to prevent a melt down if you overclock it too hard, which is kinda smart. I then had the option to go into the BIOS, so I looked at every setting to see if things were OK and if it was somehow overclocked or had some wrong settings.. Everything looked and still looks alright when I save and exit. When I do save and exit, be it with the settings I think is okay, the fail safe or optimized settings then the screen just goes black.
    So now for the 'clearing the CMOS' part When I reset the CMOS with the jumper I can get further than the error message about overclocking. I get two options:
    1. To enter BIOS setup to configure the bios.
    2. To automatically load some default settings and continue booting.
    First I tried option 1, after doing a save and exit the screen went black again, got the overclocking message and had to clear the CMOS one more time.
    Then I choose option 2, windows started to load, I got into safe mode and windows started to find all the new hardware and so on. When that was done I was kinda forced to reboot, screen went back and yes you guessed it... I had to clear the CMOS and choose options 2. I got as far as getting into windows and installed some of the stuff from the CD-rom's that came with the motherboard, again I was doomed to reboot and clear the CMOS. Once again option 2 needed to be selected to get the system up and running, and I got as far as to the "Want to activate windows" option, and couldn't do that cause the network card was not installed so I had no internet connectivity. Apparently if windows detect too much hardware being replaced then the activation thing pops up, and I later learned that I can't activate my windows anymore cause I used my activation quota and I have to get a new key
    What I learned from my brief time in windows normal mode:
    Everything seemed to work nicely, and freaking fast too....swiiing!
    2gb of ram was detected, running dual channel and at the desired voltage.
    The CPU was running at normal speed and voltage.
    All in all everything seemed normal until I rebooted.
    The only thing I can conclude is that something goes horribly wrong when I clear the CMOS, load some default settings and then reboot. I have seen that I am able to get into the system with my current hardware, but only after a CMOS clear, so what the heck is wrong, what goes wrong after the reboot?
    And this is as far as I can get with my own knowledge of computers :(
    So now I hope to go that I can get some help from some of you guys, any thoughts on this or anyone know of such a problem and maybe know a solution?
    If I missed some information you guys need to solve this puzzle then just ask.
    On a side note, if I somehow get the chance to flash my BIOS to version 1.3 in hope that if will solve my problem, then will it erase my chances to send it in for RMA and get a new board? Do I break any rules by doing that?
    Best Regards

    ok, when you turn it off and on and off and on, the BIOS will think it's an overclocking failure event, and hence display the overclock error message.
    usually this is due to the memory settings was set incorrectly (by the BIOS itself). You may need to manually change the memory settings and see if that helps. And, please make sure that your BIOS can support FSB1333 processor like E6750 out of the box. If not, try flashing to the latest BIOS.
    Hello and thanks for the quick anwser.
    I did check if memory/cpu settings were okay and the seem to be on the right defaut setting. I save and exit and the screen just goes black. I forgot to add the motherboard and BIOS versions but they are there now: Mobo: MSI P35-NEO-Combo-F, Intel P35, Ver. 1.0, BIOS ver. 1.2
    I don't see how I will be able to flash the bios when I can't get into windows and do it, and there is no way else for me to do it. If it was the case that the BIOS didn't support FSB1333, then I would never have gotten as far as getting into windows and getting the activation message would I?

  • 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.

  • 875P Neo-FIS2R boot problem

    Hello,
    Just built a new machine with the following parts. Sometimes it boots fine, but mostly when you turn it on nothing happens, no beeps, no visual, no nothing. Also, once in awhile it takes 15 - 20 seconds before it beeps and visuals come on screen. It's using bios version 1.2 with all default settings by shorting out jumpers. (It gives different voltage settings when reset by jumpers vrs utility.) Once it boots it runs fine, even though memory timings are 2-4-4-6 SPD instead of 2-2-2-6 SPD that my memory modules are suppose to be. However when I manually change to 2-2-2-6 the bios shows that but CPU-Z still shows 2-4-4-6, thats a different story though which a bios update would probally fix. Right now all I want is for it to boot consistently, every time. Ive tried a different power switch and a different power supply. Neither helped and this is driving me crazy, somebody please assist or post any information you might feel would help.

    Hey,
    I have /had same problem with Neo 875 and corsair TWINX512-3200LL and bios V1.2 It has something to do with mem settings and/or Vdimm voltage. At this moment it boots fine but I can't explain way. It seems that this kind of memory is very sensitive for the Vdimm voltage. 2.5V is to low and some systems refuse to post. (see the bios 1.4 flash problems) Must user use 2.6v; 2.65v or 2.7v. Check out if you can find a stable setting. Bios v1.2 uses default SPD settings. you can't change them. Although after bios reset (removed battery) I get some different values with cpu-z. 2-2-2-6 I don't understand why I get those values in CPU-Z. I don't believe that my system is running with those settings. I think it's running with default bios 1.2 settings 2,5-4-4-6 but who knows?
    A lot of users had dead MOBO's when they flashed to v1.4. The reason isn't found. Some moderators say the didn't wait for the DOS prompt after flashing (Could be) Some users can confirm they did. Maybe it has to do with the corsair memory. If you do a search you will find a lot of usefull information (bios v1.4 and/or MOBO hangs on keyboard initialisation)

  • K9N SLI/K9N Ultra NVIDIA nForce 570 series chipset based. Boot problems

    Hi
    Im new to these kinds of things and I cant claim to be a tech wiz. I have never encountered this kind of a problem and im not familiar with anything relating to computer hardware, motherboards etc. I will however attempt to describe my dilemma. I have a booting issue with my computer and regardless of re-installing the OS the problem persists. To even get the computer to start i might have to press the power button repeatedly about 30 times. I also get this message on the screen: "Warning!!! The previous performance of overclocking is failed and the system restored to the default settings....". However, I have never attempted any kind of overclocking, nor do I know how to do such a thing. To solve the problem I tried various things, first I reinstalled the OD(win vista). Then I ran various diagnostic tests and eventually entered BIIOS and tried to solve the problem by loading failsafe defaults and later loading optimized defaults. I also reset the CMOS using the red button located next to my chipset. None of the above seem to work and currently im at a loss as to how to solve my predicament. I have no cash to buy a new PC so I HAVE to make it work!
    Keep in mind im merely refering to what it says on the box and I have no idea whatsoever about the meaning and/or interpretation of the combinations of letters and numbers!
    Specs:
    AMD Athlon X2 6000+ 3.0 Ghz Socket AM2 2MB BOXED
    MSI K9N SLI-2F, nForce 570 SLI, DDR 2, Socket-AM2, 2x GbLAN, ATX, 2x PCI ex16
    Cooler master Mystique 631 black
    Hiper type-R black 580 W
    Silent 18 db, 4x SATA, ATX, SLI, 20/24 pin
    Samsung SpinPoint T166 500gb SATA 2, 16 MB 7200 RPM
    2x Corsair value s. PC5300 DDR 2, 2048 MB
    XFX GeForce 8800 GTS 500M 640 MB GDDR3
    PCI-Express, 2x DVI/HDTV/HDCP, 320-bit

    "starting" means my fans and everything else starts running. Well, starting means the power goes on(and stays on) with the familiar whirr of the fans . starting also implies the OS and everything else works. However I cant even get the power to stay on before pushing the power button about 30 times. Slowly and surely it powers up but it really struggles as of late. Its an old computer(about 5 years) and it was running fine until about a week ago.
    Im merely a casual user of my pc, although I enjoy playing games such as world of warcraft, rift or any other MMO. I was thinking that it could be the power supply that is on it's last leg. However, I dont know how to change to a new one, despite reading the guides posted here. I also checked the power supply manual but the information contained within was far too technical for me to comprehend, it might aswell have been written in chinese.
    Im also hesitant to flash BIOS as I have never done such a thing and as far as I know I might fry the whole system if I dont do it right. Lets asume I want to change the powersupply for a new one, should I go with an identical model as the old one? The power supply is a HIPER type-R series 580 W. I can provide all the technical data if necessary, I just want to solver the problem. I cant really think of any other likely solution as it should work asuming the power suppy isnt the problem. I reinstalled the OS from scratch anyway thinking it might be a software problem.
    Could the problem also be caused by an old BIOS version? Not sure which one I have right now but considering I have never dared to update it, its more than likely an old version.

    Hi,
    First increase DDR voltage too........... 2.6V, then try 2.65V etc to a MAX of 2.75V
    You have to find the voltage the memory was designed to work at......
    This should cure your problem.........

  • K8N Neo Power/Boot Problems!

    Yo to all, i have recently bought for my pc at home ( i semi-own a pc store ) and i have decided to upgrade my previous amd 2600 barton.
    Well i ordered a MSI K8N Neo Platinum + 54g ( wlan ) and an AMD 64 3200+.
    Now when the package came i installed them to my case and it worked fine, so i packed it and went home to install it to its previous place, but unfortunately it never powered-up.  I saw that when i entered the 12pin PSU cables on mb the light from the network card blinked one time and thats it , it didnt work. After more tries i saw that when i semi-entered the 12pin cable the fans start spinning with no booting process and the d-bracket was constantly red.
    So i called the company and i got a replacement, but the problem now is :
    The pc works only if it closes from software termination, if i pull the plug out or the power cuts off it stays inactive for like 10 mins before it can power up again, meaning that i have to leave it open all the time.
    I repeat if you didnt understand. When i boot , if the power goes off or i closed it via the pc's button it wont be powered on for the next 10-15mins, the only way to boot is to successfully boot and shut it down via windows/linux.
    I dont know what this means , havent seen it before.
    Its not my PSU , it is tested and works great on other motherboards.
    If anyone can help me with this i would be gladful, although i want to believe that the next bios patch will cover this as i cant send the mb back and wait for another 3-4weeks.
    Best Regards,
    Sedde

    Ok havent seen this problem before on this board but this is whats happening, all motherboards are made with a thermal switch on the board (as well as one built into the psu) it used to be on cheaper boards when they use cheaper components if you turn off a computer by power failiure on off switch or just pulling the plug out of the back the switch will trip just like an rcd. The system holds the risidual current for about 10 minutes (you can bleed it faster by using foil or removing the onboard battery and resetting the bios) The problem is probably a faulty thermal rcd circuit, this problem can be caused by a to high output power supply but is more likley a manafacturing fault. You should have no problem with an RMA on the board as their technicians will recognise it. However it is worth trying it quickly before you RMA it, try it on a lower output psu i.e 350w with about 18amps on the 12v. If this doesnt work return it as faulty.
    Hope this helps

  • K8n neo platinum boot problem

    hi all
    first of all sorry about my bad english...
    my pc specs
    A64 2800+ newcastle with Tt Polo735
    k8n neo platinum
    Noganet 350W (+5v=35a // +12v=15a // -12v=1a // -5v=0.5a )
    2x Wd30gb
    sapphire9600xt
    256mb kingston pc2700
    256mb xerox pc2700
    well, yesterday i changed my amd box cooler and put the polo735.. everything was fine.. when i turn on the computer..dont boot and only a single bip every 4 or 5 secs..
    i tryed everything, another mems, another vid card... i started my pc with only mems, vid and heatsink and nothing...only the beps
    i put my cpu on another pc and works fine.. and put another cpu on mi mother and the same problem..
    i clear cmos and nothing
    i change the psu for a generic 520w and nothing
    plz HElp
    cyas
    EDIT: DBRACKET led 1, 2, 4 in red // led 3 in green

    Sounds like bad/not levered pressure from the new heatsink to the cpu HS .
    Make sure it correct aligned and the right way and has the correct pressure
    to the cpus heatspreader . Also make sure motherboard can read the fans rpm .
    [edit:]
    btw i agree with bas , your current psu is weak .
    The polo fan also is a very watt hungry fan compared to boxed .

  • 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)
    Asus CD-R (master on chain 2)
    Asus GeForce 4 Ti4800SE 128 MB DDR 8x AGP graphics card (brand new)
    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(
