Still K8n neo2 random reboots !

few days ago had random reboots while using/quiting games!
almost try everything like testing other ram, Vga etc...
and face the trouble coming from voltage line drops (low 3.3v).
So decide to swap for better Psu and bought a hiper 480w type R.
but still have that fu..... reboot
try a single(noname) 512 ddr stick and hadn't the prob
like to know why dual channels ddr(512TwinX3200c2) don't work ?
In fact i bought k8n neo2 instead of k8n neo cause of the dual capability!!!!
anyone could help?
please help!!!

I've seen that happen on my older P4 when I overclocked it. Games push your computer to the limits so it might be an issue with overheating or having the errors due to overclocking.

Help! k8n neo2 random crash

Just built k8n neo2 and updated all bios and drivers using live update. System runs great except for the occasional random crash. Without any indication, the system will simply reboot, or go to a system level blue screen with lots of error messages for a breif second and then reboot. Upon reboot, xp reboots as if nothing happend, other times it goes into safe mode (in which case i reboot normal everything works fine for several hours.... or until i run virtually any game software)
Only one time did windows say it had recovered from a fatal error, but it didnt have an explanation. The best xp could suggest is that it was "device driver" related but didn't say which device.
When running internet applications all day it happend only once. But when running 3-d games it seems to happen every time about 5-30 min into the game at different points in the game. The same game works fine on my asus system. I loaded another "doom" type game that even came bundled with the ati 9800 pro, and it also crashes and automatically reboots without notice 5-10 min into the game. I updated all the graphic drivers to the 9800 pro, but to no avail.
I didn't mess with any of the Muskin blue 3200 ( 2x512 )memory settings (all default setting) The post test for memory didn't indicate a problem...is anyone using muskin?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Went to mushkin and finally found their timing page.
http://www.mushkin.com/epages/Mushkin.storefront/41e18a17005e60d62740c0a80102061c/Product/View/991158#nforce3
I have the msi-7025 ver:1 On the mushkin site it lists timings for the nforce3-250 What is the "-250"? are there differn't versions of the nforce3 becuase everywhere I looked..on my system board, on box, on system software, it only references "nforce 3." In anycase, for the mushkin blue 3200 it shows 2-3-3-10 and thats what I have plugged in now. So I hope this is right?
Im still getting the crashes in the games, but task manager is catching them before the system reboots, so a little improvement. I am heavily suspecting the ATI all-in-wonder 9800 PRO now. Is anyone using this board or the regular 9800 pro? I updated the drivers and have been on their site but not much help so far.
As far as my Diamond max 10 300 HD....no problems with drive recognition. I was using bios 1.3 right out of the box.
It works in all ports....its currently in sata2 only by chance.
Most peoples basic mistakes are two fold:
1. If they are not using RAID, they are mistakenly loading the RAID drivers during xp insallation. (like I did by mistake). Don't load the drivers that came on floppy with the board if not using RAID ...the system will automatically load the SATA drivers.
Simply check in bios or watch during post to see if the SATA diamond max 6b300SO is loaded (or whatever diamond max drive you have). If its indicated, then you DON'T have a "drive recognition or SATA problem"
2. Realize tha Win XP WILL not recognize a drive larger than ~137 gig. Therefore, when you install XP it will only say you have a 137gig to be formatted.
To solve this problem you need to load maxtors "large drive enabler" software AFTER windows is installed...once installed you will "see" the full 300gig.
The way I solved this was during xp installation when presented with 137gig, I formatted 60gig to be my c: drive (you can make a c: partition up to 137 or as small as you want). I formatted and installed windows on the C: partition as normal leaving the rest of the drive unformatted at this point. Once windows booted I installed service pack 2 (required for large drive support) and installed the Maxtor "large drive enabler" software from the maxtor site. At this point the rest of the unpartitioned HD was "recognized". I used Win administrator/diskmanagement tools to create and extended partition & and format the logical drive(s) I created.
In short, never a SATA problem for me. I have since upgraded to bios 1.4 and no problems either.
Needless to say Maxtor could have been a little more complete in their explanation on their web site. For most people, I suspect it is a "chicken and egg" problem ... how to load software on a drive that will enable you to "recognize" entire drive BEFORE the drive has been recognized and formatted.

K8N NEO2 Platinum rebooting

Hi all,just got myself a 64bit MSI K8N NEO2 Platinum board & a 3200+,am happy with it but a couple of days ago i got a blue screen with a long message that i didnt have time to read before the pc rebooted,after the reboot i checked the event viewer log file in administrative tools/control panel but couldnt narrow it down as my particular error code wasnt among the possible causes.
Among some of the possible causes were incorrectly installed USB drivers or the BIOS,i downloaded the latest BIOS update before this problem started(V1.40) which i am using now,i used the MSI live update software to flash it which i did in windows mode.Sorry for prattling on!well it did it again tonight and i managed to read a bit of the writing on the blue screen which mentioned flashing the bios to the latest version.I was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem and if so could you please advise me?

My K8N Neo Platinum [754] did not include a NB fan. But this usually means the overall size of the heatsink is larger. If you remove the fan from yours, the size of the heatsink will not be big enough to cool your NB. As for temps, I've never seen my NB get hotter than 45'C. Note that the core on my NB should be slightly different than yours.
You could try to use the BIOS fan control for the NB. If set correctly, it should reduce some noise.

Random reboots K8T Neo2 and 3200+

I am still getting the random reboots. I have noticed the most reboots when having alot of windows open in my web browser, both firefox and maxthon. I have done full virus scan and run both adaware and spybot with no change. Right now I am using 1 windows with my browser and no problem. I can also play games that have high system requirements, AAO and BF2 neither causes any problems. Anyone have a answer or clue to what is happening? Core center says my cpu temp is running what I call wide 37-51 degrees. The fan speed changes alot also. Is there a way to lock the fan speed and still use core center? I don't remeber but think my Intel and 865PE Neo2 setup the fan speed stayed constant.
Thanks

Big Problem!! K8N Neo2 rebooting on random!!

Okay I just got my new memory today - pqi TURBO Series Dual Channel Platinum Kit 184-Pin 1GB(512MB x 2) DDR PC-3200 - Retail. Now ever since I put this memory in the computer crashes randomly every few minutes then reboots. I don't know what is wrong :( This memory is the same as OCZ, it is Samsung TCCD chips with a Brainpower PCB. I don't understand why its not working.
I tryed moving the memory into all slots possible, and it didnt work. I did DIMM1-2 first, then 3-4, then 1-3, and nothing works. Can anyone please tell me if there is a way to fix this problem, if not I guess I'm going to RMA the board, and get a different one.

I had the exact same problem as you for the longest time and I couldn't figure it out. I had my memory in slots 3&4 and my computer would just randomly reboot. It didn't matter what I was doing, and I got no bluescreens or anything. Once it rebooted everything seemed normal again. I thought that it was a heating issue, a power supply issue, or a memory issue. I installed a couple more case fans and stopped overclocking, the problem did not go away. I ran memtest for about four hours with the overclocked settings and no errors occurred, so that ruled out the memory. My power supply meets the recommendations that I have seen on this board and on AMD's site, so I ruled that out as well. I tried a handful of bioses (official and beta) and the problem did not go away.
I updated to official bios 1.4 and switched the memory to slots 1&2 and the problem has gone away. Now my setup is rock solid. I don't know which one fixed the problem (or maybe it was the combination). I think that this board (bios?) just has some quirks in it. Once you figure out the quirks and get everything right it is an awesome board.
Try every test that I did and see if anything works for you. Start with Memtest and go from there.

Random system freezes with K8N Neo2...

Hi!
I've got the following problem:
My Pc freezes randomly, i.e. I'm booting my system, WinXP starts and I'm on my desktop and then it freezes and nothing happens( and I did nothing!). I have to reboot my machine. Then, the pc boots up and everything works fine (mostly). So, I can work with it maybe for a few hours or a few days and everything works nearly perfect. But then, it freezes again and I have to reboot it. Sometimes, mostly when I'm playing ut2k4 or other games, it freezes after a few minutes or a few hours of playing and I have to reboot, but not only one time; the pc boots up, I start the game again, play a few minutes and it freezes again. (this situation repeats itself several times). Or, I start the game and everything works fine for some days!
I'm frustrated because I can't play what I want or even work because of those freezes. I tried some things, like reinstalling new drivers for my mb but nothing helped. I cleared cmos and made new settings in my bios but this also didn't brought the wanted results. And now, I'm at a point where I don't know what I also can do.
Maybe a bios update would help, but I read some posts here where people have made 'bad' experiences with the new bios version, so I'm careful.
My PC isn't overclocked and my temps are ~50 idle ~59 working

:rolleyes:My computer just froze the missus out and I got an ear full “I thought you said that this one’s better than the old one?” she wasn’t too happy when I told her to reset it, as she lost all of her email she was typing.
Also I found some links to similar problems, still cant figure if it’s a hardware fault or a software one

K8N Neo2 Platinum crashing/reboot in Windows....

After some minor problems with my systems (and almost a year since i did it last) i decided to do a clean install of Windows.
It all worked out well until i tried to deactivate the onboard Nvidia Gigabit LAN port. 1-2 seconds after hitting "deactivate" the computer reboots with no warning what so ever (like hitting the resetbutton). This happened EVERY time i did that. I had installed all the latest drivers for my GFX, Sound and MoBo. The MoBo drivers were the Nforce package from nvidia.com. I then downloaded the MoBo drivers from MSI's homepage and installed just the somewhat older drivers for the Nvidia Gigabit LAN. That fixed the problem with rebooting Windows.....
.....sort of. Now the computer reboots at random (either idle or working on something like photoshop) and has done so 4 or 5 times in the last week since i reinstalled Windows. I have never had this problem before.....
Could it be that i installed Nvidias own drivers instead of the MSI drivers ? I can't remember wich one i installed last time almost a year ago. I can't even remember if i ever updated them. If it ain't broke, why fix it ?
I have another problem thats not MSi related but how the hell do you uninstall the Creative Gameport ? I have unhooked it from my Audigy 2 soundcard but it still shows up in the devicemanager as a working device. Last time i installed windows i never got it to work (a known fact that the gameport isn't supported under Win XP). The strange thing is that this time it installed properly and seemed to be running before i unhooked it.....
If i don't get a working answer from this i will try reinstall Windows again....
So...
What drivers should i use on my Mobo ? Nvidia or MSI ?

the gameport is on your soundcard, what you have unhooked is only the extension bracket (i guess). so as long as your soundcard is in the system, the gameport will show up in the device list. nothing wrong with that one. instead of uninstalling it, just disable it from the device list.
i like to use mobo manufacturer's driver over the chipset maker because technically, MSI will release the drivers after they do some testing with them.

As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account. It's assigned when the account is created. But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password. Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't. Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it. If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.

Reboot problem with MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and 250 GB SATA HDD

I'm having a "reboot" problem with my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum. After turning my system on it will run without any problems, until I reboot. After a reboot it will always hang after the initial windows-bootscreen. The HDD-light will remain on. If, instead of going into Windows XP SP2, I try to enter the BIOS after a reboot (DEL) the system will also hang (blank screen with blinking cursor).
It started doing this after I installed the Maxtor 250 GB SATA disk. Before, I didn't have problems rebooting. If I disconnect the Maxtor drive I can reboot and enter BIOS and Windows each and every time. Reconnecting the Maxtor 250 GB SATA drive will return the reboot problem. I always have to use the power swith to get a working system again. It's not enough to do a hard reset (this has the same effect as rebooting).
Here are the details of my system:
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (BIOS 1.B)
Athlon 64 3200+ (Winchester, 2 Ghz, 512 KB cache, stepping DH-D0)
2 x Kingston KVR400X64C25/512, 512 MB, DDR, PC3200 (2,5-3-3-8 T1)
Asus Radeon AX800 Pro (256 MB)
PSU Antec Sonata 380W
HDD Maxtor 80Gb ATA (6Y080P0, Pri Master)
HDD Seagate 250Gb SATA (ST3200822AS)
HDD Maxtor 250Gb SATA (6V250F0 - jumpered in SATA150 mode, the mobo wouldn't work with the drive in SATA300-mode)
Aopen COM5232/AAH Pro CD-Writer ATA (Sec Master)
BenQ DW1640 DVD-Writer ATA (Sec Slave)
P.S. The NVidia IDE-drivers are NOT installed. System is not overclocked.

Thank you for all the replies. Upgrading to the latest Nvidia IDE-drivers did not fix my problem. Moving to other SATA-ports did not help either. Upgrading the mobo's BIOS is not really an option (I'm using one version before the most recent and there isn't anything in the fixlist of the latest BIOS).
Now I've contacted Maxtor for (hopefully) a new firmware.

K8N Neo2 P: Random no boot!!

I need help
I have just built a PC for a customer and am having a few problems with it. The problem is a bit odd in that i can turn it on and it will boot fine and run into windows. Everything appears to be fine. But then maybe a restart or 2 later, or after shutdown then turned back on, the computer will hang at the spash screen. The Hard Drive appears to still be working at this point but nothing happens. There are no beeps or anything. If i leave it overnight or something the computer works.
I thought initially it may be something to do with the ram. It is crucial ram that is installed, not sure if it fully compatible but it works on my home PC and on the customers (when it does boot).
I have also just installed broadband which uses a ZOOM USB modem to connect. I have noticed that the modem sometimes doesn't sync with the ADSL line and then states that the hardware is malfunctioning or the drivers are corrupt. After a reinstallation the modem works for a while, then does the same. Is this linked in any way to the hang at boot.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers for your help guys. I managed to get it running this morning. Took out the ram and replaced it with some of my Corsair stuff n it worked fine, so there's me thinking i got the problem solved. I then try sticking the customers ram back, of which i thought was faulty, low and behold it worked. So faulty ram it wasn't.
I have no idea what the problem was, maybe the ram wasn't seated correctly or something. Anyways, the computer works now, but i have noticed that when i turn it off at the socket n then back on, there is no power to the usb ports. if i turn the computer off but leave it on at the power i don't have this problem. Tried uninstalling the usb ports n letting windows reinstall them, but didn't work.
Anyway, at least it works now even though i aint sure what the problem was.
Cheers guys

K8N Neo2-FX fails to reboot

My K8N Neo2-FX does not reboot properly.
It started after I did a BIOS flash. (I had to do it or else it will not detect my processor)
When I reboot windows it says shutting down like normal but when the screen turns blank it usally reboots but mine doesn't it stays blank forever. I have to manually switch off the PSU and turn it on again. Windows works like normal, it is very frustrating. All help are appreciated.

This sounds like a windows and wrong acpi hal issue .
Is the windows install based on one core and with uniprocessor hal , you must update it to support multiprocessor (X2) .
Reinstall or a repair install and pressing F5 during the textbased setup is recommended and choose manually "ACPI Multiprocessor PC" .

New Z10 Random reboots and text notifications STILL

June 13th I upgraded from a Torch to the Z10. 3 days later, it was randomly rebooting about 4 times a day. I went through a wipe and reinstall and it seemed to work for about a week and then it started with the random rebooting as well as telling me I had texts when I didn't, and telling me every single day that there was a software upgrade available for the very same OS I already had on the phone!
I took it into Rogers and because it was past 2 weeks my options were dismal so I went with the free option. I had them send it in to be fixed. I just picked it up today and haven't even had it back 4 hours. I just got it back to where I wanted it preference wise and blammo! Random reboots and text notifications when there are none.
My options from here? Send it in AGAIN, or pay a $120 deductible through my protection plan for a 'new' phone (= refurbished - I was told they cannot guarantee me it would be brand new), or pay for the phone outright (in the neighborhood of $600) and then start a new plan for a different brand of phone (and yes, I will convert to the other side if this doesn't get resolved properly).
So frustrated because I feel it's extremely unfair to have to pay to own a device that doesn't even work just to get out of my contract (this is my provider but if they aren't able to get their money back from BB then why would they give me mine back?)... especially given that I received it just over a month ago and already had to send it out for a repair that didn't even work!
HELP!? I've tried everything... I'm SO disappointed and frustrated. I've been a loyal BB customer for over 5 years. This is about to end if there is no resolution. I need a phone I can rely on.
Thank you in advance to the powers that be - may they have mercy!

K8N Neo2 Plat - Is 1.8 still the best bios?

Just bought new gfx card - Sapphire X1600Pro 256MB AGP - for my K8N Neo2 Plat setup (see sig for the rest).
I was getting 3dmark03 scores of 4400 to start with, then it has upped slowly to just over 6000 thanks to the various BIOS experts setup guides. I haven't found the Shgift F2 menu - is that only in later BIOSes ?
I'm only at BIOS 1.3 due to it's amazing stability with this setup, but now of course, I'm wondering if upping to, say, 1.8, might help improve things further ??
TIA

Hello !
The 1.8 bios is very good unless you are planning to run/update to an X2 dual core , then you will need a newer one for sure.
There is nothing faster and better with 1C , EasyBios 1C and my modded have better default values set in it ,EasyBios
have also better reworked layout (more user friendly) , but if you don't have any problems with your current one I would stick with it .
It's almost the same with my Neo1 system (Ms-7030) , I have this frozen at the 1.5b6 bios - with the Newcastle cpu in it
it actually works worse with the latest BIOS

I have constant K8N Neo2 problems advice needed. (long) Update

I need some advice on what my problem might be and if I need to RMA the motherboard or power supply.
I have a new Athlon 64 3500+ processor, MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum BIOS v1.3 motherboard, with 2 512MB DIMMs of Corsair Value Select Memory. I have had and am still having a series of crashes and lock-ups I will list below. FULL SYSTEM SPECS BELOW AT BOTTOM.
I initially installed the motherboard with a SINGLE 120GB hard drive from the old machine and the installed the memory in memory slots 1 & 2 to try dual channel memory mode. I then formatted the C partition and did a clean install of Windows XP Professional with SP2, installed the MSI drivers on the installation CD that came with the motherboard (Nvidia nForce3 Version 5.03 System Drivers, Realtek gigabit ethernet driver, Realtek AC97 audio driver) & the GeForce v66.93 video driver. I then got my first blue screen "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" crash, I ignored this crash and rebooted. I shortly got a black screen crash which I also ignored.
I then installed a new 200GB hard drive and a old 120GB so I could transfer the data from the old 120GB to the new 200GB drive. The data transfer went fine. As I was preparing to install some applications I then got my second blue screen "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" crash. Suspecting the Corsair Value Select Memory could not handle dual channel I ran Memtest-86 for 2 passes and got NO errors with the memory in dual channel mode, so I left it.
With my data backed up on the 200GB new drive I removed the new 200GB and the second 120GB hard did another clean install of Windows XP Professional with SP2, this time with Nvidia’s nForce3 Version 5.10 system drivers, the Realtek gigabit ethernet driver and Realtek AC97 audio driver from the motherboard installation CD & the GeForce v66.93 video driver. I downloaded the latest version of Core Center and installed it and got it working. CPU temperatures were showing a low of around 29C, average of about 44C, and spikes at full loads of about 55-57C. I then ran Ghost to back up the boot partition. I installed all my applications, reinstalled the 200GB and 120 GB hard drives moved some data around with no crashes.
I then installed Rome Total War and played for about 2 hours and had one black screen crash after the reboot played for 4 more hours with no problems so I shut down and went to bed.
In the morning I got up started the computer let it run for awhile the CPU temperatures were in the low 30Cs to low 40Cs I tried to copy some files from the D partition to desktop and the screen freezes I waited about 5 min. with no change and no drive light activity so I hit the reset button. Upon reboot I got a ‘no system disk found” error, I went into the BIOS and checked the drive set-ups and boot priority, everything was correct. I tried for a half hour to get the system to boot with on luck. I used the Ghost to restore the partition image I had made earlier and still no boot. I finally decided to reinstall XP again put in the installation CD and when I got to the screen where you decide where to install Windows I changed my mind quit and bingo the machine boots into the restored Ghost partition???? I started to reinstall my applications got one more blue screen"MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" crash and another screen freeze that I had to reset.
So I decided to start from real scratch I removed the new 200GB and the second 120GB hard drive ran Killdisk on the boot drive, made a new clean 20GB C partition and did another clean install of Windows XP Professional with SP2, this time with Nvidia’s nForce3 Version 5.10 system drivers, the Realtek gigabit ethernet driver and Realtek AC97 audio driver from the motherboard installation CD & the GeForce v66.93 video driver. I installed the latest version of Core Center and installed it and got it working. CPU temps were as before.
I tested the memory with Memtest-86 again 2 passes no errors. Just in case I then moved one of the memory DIMMs to memory slot 3 out of dual channel mode and to a slower speed and ran Memtest-86 for about 20 hours with 21 passes with no memory errors, so I think memory can be ruled out as the problem.
Next I installed my applications I got one screen freeze that I had to reset. I reinstalled the other 200GB and 120GB hard drives. After I got all my applications install and Ghosted the boot partition. I have had one more one screen freeze that I had to reset.
I have a problem I simply cannot figure out. The memory is obliviously fine. While I have seen CPU temperatures spikes as high as 57C the CPU temps as reported by Core Center averages in the high 30Cs or low 40Cs and most of crashes/lock-ups don’t seem to occur during high CPU load/temp. The power supply might be a little light for the system but many of the crashes have occurred with only one hard drive in the system. The fact after one for the lock-ups the system would not boot for awhile and then magically just booted gives me concern there might be a motherboard problem.
Any solution ideas would be appreciated. Should I RMA the power supply, the motherboard, or both.

Great isn't it (although not without the occasional crash)
Would you say it's better but not there yet ? or the same ?
I thought the same as Ibn Quote
Your PS unit is a little weak for that much hardware, but I doubt thats your problem as well
re your PSU, given youv'e got a less hungry Graphic Card, thought it was at worse marginal, have seen worse.
To investigate further it may be worth diconnecting one of your HD, maybe the 200gb for a time.
It's a small thing but it may be slightly better to have both your maxtors together on IDE channel 1, given their identical.
good luck - keeo us posted

Still K8n neo2 random reboots !
