Stability Problems with a K8N Neo4 System

I just purchased the following system:
MSI K8N Neo4-F
Athlon 64 3200+ Venice
1GB Corsair 2.5 CAS PC3200 (400)
MSI Radeon x800 256MB
WD 7200 RPM 80G HD
Antec True430
NEC 2500 DVDR
I installed XP Pro and had just about all of my drivers installed when I began to see random lock ups where the mouse and everything would freeze without coming out. I would reboot, the same thing would happen. I reinstalled windows again. Same. I swapped the PSU, thinking it could be that, but no avail. I had the memory in the 2 green slots, which seemed wrong, so I switched it to green 1 and purple 1. I switched the voltage on the ram down to 2.5v. Nothing has seemed to help yet... I'm still getting these freezes, any suggestions?
Thanks,
John

I got the same problems. Suddenly there was no response to my keyboard and mouse.
I tested the memory with memtest86, but no problems showed up.

    You may firstly clear cmos and load defaults in the bios, and if it is available, please attach us a picture of the screen which the issue occurred when you hit enter during the its detecting the SATA hard disk. I am a little confused about what you said. Please tell me what changes have you made before the issue took place. I just want to help, so do many other people. But please firstly give us more detailed information.
    I did it and nothing! Should I restore the original bios version that came with the mother?
    I'll explain the problem: You enter BIOS, go to the disk properties (where says LBA, LARGE, CYLINDERS, HEAD, etc) and hit enter, usually the screen goes blue and shows a line at the bottom of the screen (they are like triangles pointing downside) and 2 seconds after everithing comes back showing the data of the disk ok? Well, now it hangs forever in the "triangles pointing downside" part and I have to restart the machine...
    Does this belongs to the issue of the K8n neo4 platinum with the maxtor hdd's ??? The mobo is malfunctioning?
    Please helpppp! Thanks!

  • Slow Boot problem with New K8N Neo4 Platinum HELP

    Hello,
    I just set up my new rig, the system specs are..
    amd64 3500+
    K8N Neo4 Platinum PCI-E (non SLI)
    2x80gb SATA (insockets 5 and 6) Silicon
    2x512 ram generic
    BFG 6800 Ultra OC
    antec 550 truepower
    The entire install went well.. It zipped through windows98... But when it tired to Boot windows98.. it went really really slow.. The animation bar at the bottom was chugging.. like lagging.. and took well over 10 minutes to fully load..
    I check RAM was not it.. re-connected.. was not it.. new SATA cables.. no idea any help would do.. getting impatient and tired =O must get it up tonight!

    Don't know if you or many people have seen this it's appeared over the last few days K8N Neo4 Platinum  -  NOTE: NVIDIA nForce 3/4 Series board DO NOT support Windows® 98/ME
    There are people running 98 but my own understanding was that 98 could only use a sata drive as a data drive & could not be installed on a sata drive. Where have you installed it ???
    see Win 98SE IDE problem.... Has anyone worked it out yet?
    luck

  • Having problems with my K8N Neo4 Platinum board

    Hi,
    I'm at a loss of trying to figure out what is the problem, my computer comes on by itself and I'm not sure if it's a hardware problem or bios or maybe a virus.....anyone came across this problem before?

    You can thank Bill Gates and his precious team for the gorgeous software that they have created. If you didn't know, Win is automatized to such a high degree, that it can do things by itself. Probably the OS thougth that this is a neat feature that you're missing out onto, and decided to show you the path to enlightenment
    This is not correct. It is the PROM's on the network card that is configurated to enable wake on lan function. The best thing to do, is to go into your bios and select enable network PROM og network BIOS (depending on what it says), Then you'r settings will be saved, in case you reinstall windows/formats etc. This is not a windows issue, just the standard settings for the network card as it comes from the manufacturer. Bill Gates is not to blame...

  • Problem with BIOS K8N Neo4 Platinum (PCB 1.0)

    Hi...
    I just wanna know which is the best BIOS for overclock for this motherboard... I've tried diferent BIOS versions, but i can't get FSB greater than 235 mhz...
    ps:sorry for my english

    I don't have this board at hand. So...uh I haven't tried those bios, but many guys on the forum have the experience in using 1.C or beta 1.Cx. It seems that there is not any obvious bug. However, in my opinion, the newest bios is not always the best one for your board. If not necessary, don't update bios. The stability is the most important.
    thanks...
    em... the 1.C is a beta version???
    i think i will try the 1.B version...

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 "Problem with Printer or Ink System'

    A gander at this forum suggests I am one ofa multitude of people perplexed by this issue. There is a notation beside one enquiry which says 'Problem Solved'.... well it isn't for me. My printer (typical!) is one month out of warranty. I had to replace the black cartridge and, when I did, it came up with this error prompt. I then replaced all the other cartridges. HP suggests removing the printhead and following that they say place it 'upside down on a clean sheet of paper'... NO instructions for cleaning it!! When it is replaced in the printer they suggest you 'rock the printhead left and right to make sure that the printhead fully seats in the carriage' and if THIS doesn't fix things 'try reseating the printhead up to 3 times'... This in itself is an admission of an 'issue' with this product. It doesn't sound like a very scientific engineering 'fix' to me!
    A new printhead costs almost what we paid for the printer a year ago. I hate consigning anything to landfill that I can avoid... unfortunately it looks like that is where this unit belongs...

    Hi @Robin_Perth,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I am sorry to hear about you getting the problem with printer or ink system error, with your HP Officejet 8600, but I am happy to look into this for you!

    Thanks so much for replying to my post. I tried the fist suggestions and they did not work. So, I attempted to move on Dow to the cleaning of my printer. I am the the first to admit that I'm not the genius when it come to electronics buys, my printer do not seem to have what is described in the photos. I'd like to upload a photo of my ink cartage but do not know how.
    Charleshia, you can upload a photo here to reply. Click Reply, then on the window you'll see the image below..
    click the one which has the red box, it's where you insert the photo
    Going back on your issue.. the basic step would be.. take out the inks then close the door... what error message you  got? If it's saying "Missing Ink Cartridge" just hit OK. Unplug the power cable at back of the printer, plug it back in.. Clean the copper contacts on the ink cartridges using a lint free cloth then reinstall them. Let me know if it resolved it or not.. I can only give basic troubleshooting here

  • "Problem with printer or ink system"

    Hello, so this morning I printed out a paper and I saw I was almost out of black ink. I replaced the cartridge and everything was okay. When I went to print out another paper I received the error message "Problem with printer or ink system... 0x6100004e" I went to HP support and found a whole bunch of solutions. I went through the first few, there is no paper jams, but then I realized my carriage was either not leaving the dock or it would come all the way left just to go right back. When I open the door, its like the printer thinks the carriage is moving because it keeps turning the way it normally would. I tried resetting it, and looking up other solutions but nothing. My warranty was up in May. It had never had this problem when I changed the cartridges before, so I really need all the help I can get.

  • OneKey Recovery 6.0. Problem with back up operating system from recovery cd'ies

    Hello, i have problem with back up operating system from recovery cdies.
    When i acceped start button to backup partition system i get an alert "space not enough"
    I had linux before and i whant change it to windows back. i deleted all ext partitions. I have all unlocated space.I shouldnt have problems.
    Please help me

    I would use something like Partition Magic or Acronis Disk Director to first create a FAT32 partion for your C: Drive where your OS will go and be sure to leave 10GB or so unallocated for the secondary FAT32 Partition where your "factory image" will go. 
    You then create a Logical Drive with the unallocated space and make it hidden (PM or ADD will do this).   Install your OS (preferably Windows XP if you want less problems) and then after you have setup everything the way you want (drivers, applications, etc), then use Acronis True Image to create your "factory restore" image on the hidden partition and activate the Startup Recovery Manager.
    This is the way I do it and it works like a charm!

  • Stability problems with PC companion

    Hi!
    Just out of curiosity, am I the only one having stability problems with my PC after installing PC companion?
    I'm getting three or four freezes per day after installing the suite and none after deinstalling.
    ("freezing": neither CtrlAltDel nor normal pushing of the switch off button work. I have to press the on/off button on the PC for 5s for a hardware switchoff)
    We' seem to have traced it to a problem where a driver has the same name as one already installed on windows (apparently some fingerprint stuff). Unfortunately my colleague can't remember precise details anymore as it was some time ago.
    Does anyone experience similar problems?
    Lots of Greetings!

  • Performance and Stability Problem with PE9

    I just upgraded my computer to a Core i5 with 8G of memory and everything is running much faster.  But my NEW PE9 just run very slow.  Some of the simple tasks take 10-30 second to complete.  Even Windows 7 will often come out to ask if I want to wait for PE9 to wake up or kill the process.  When I want to change the size of a video clip, it just doesn't work at all due to performance.  It will take PE9 20-30 seconds to resize the video clip.  Without some realtime feedback of the size, it is impossible to do the resizing and this is a very fundamental operation.  PE9 often crash or seize up as well, I didn't have any of these problem with PE3.0.  I upgraded to PE9 simply because my PE3.0 for WIndows XP is not comletely compatible with Windows 7 (some of the text displace does not show up).
    Do anyone else have issue with performance and stability?
