SUSE Linux 9.2 on K8N Neo Plat

Hi,
I tried installing SUSE 9.2 on my PC this weekend.
The YAST installer only picked up my SATA Drive on SATA connector 1 and 2. It did not find it on 3 or 4.
Any one know of a reason for this? I always run my SATA drive of SATA 3 (Read in a number of places that SATA 3 & 4 is safer).
Anyway of fixing the SUSE installer?
Thanks for the help,
D.

I have the Fedora 3 (64bit version) up and running. But i'm not using SATA disks, but SCIS disks. I noticed several OS related problems. Like when I want to add some tools/software from the Fedora CD's, it says it an't find them. So I need to leave the disks in the cdrom drive, then I need to reboot, and the reinstalling the soft. When I want to add another soft, I again to change cd's, reboot and then to start the installation all over. (I was trying to install the boot disk manager).
Also the installation from DVD didn't work, I had to re-download everything so that I could burn the cd version.

MSI K8N NEO PLAT + CD / DVD-RW Drives

Hi, i have the msi k8n neo plat. I recently had to replace my old mobo due to the old power supply blowing or something. So i got me a 480watt enermax coolergiant psu. Replaced the mobo for a new msi k8n neo plat. Put the mobo in and psu. Working fine and dandy. Now i installed 64bit xp to primary, and ive had it running for for about 2 weeks. Went to install linux to the second hard drive, so i changed the boot order, saved settings and went to load disc...however now my cd and dvd drives dont work, and they dont work in windows either.

Can anybody tell me what i should set the cpu fsb frequency to in the bios.
I just read this in the faq
What is the fsb speed of this cpu?
Depending on which FSB you are asking about: The Athlon 64's have the memory controller built in (which was previously part of the Northbridge on the motherboard) which uses up to 200MHz DDR Memory (400MHz FSB) The HyperTransport link from the CPU to the rest of the motherboard runs up to 800MHz. Just to expand on my answer... The HT link is 800MHz, but it's 16 bit in size (2 bytes worth of data per clock) the total bandwidth of the HyperTransport link is 3.2GB in total - 1.6GB sending data to CPU and 1.6GB receiving data from CPU.

MSI k8N Neo Plat 2...system freeze and crash during h-end gaming...

MSI k8N Neo Plat 2
AMD athlon 64 3800+
Centon 512 MB DDR 3200 x 4
nvidia geforce fx 5700
win xp pro
Creative Audigy 2
Under some graphically intensive situations, during gaming, especially dealing with alot of background visuals, like fire/lava, etc, the system will after a short while of playing either, crash, freeze, reboot, or freeze while a loud screeching nosie emits from my speakers...I have tried updating my graphx card drivers to the most recent and the symptons still persist..Is there something I need to set in BIOS regarding mem timings, I have tried playing around some, but that hasnt worked either...Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!
,

Try raising RAM voltage to 2.7v - 2.8v.
If no go - Run Memtest86 http://www.memtest.org/#downiso
If no go - Try onboard Audio ( disable / remove Audigy2 )

Msi k8n neo plat problems

I have built 2 computers exactly the same.
msi k8n neo plat
512 corsair xms ddr 3200
8og sata maxtor
amd 64 3200
128mb ati 9800 pro
asus cd drive
When i tried to install windows xp pro on both the machines i got the same error. could not copy file. On each try the file was a different one. After hours of trying new things i found that putting the memory in slot 2 on the motherboard solved the problem, windows installed and booted up as norm. When i moved the memory back to slot 1 the computer would not boot.
I have now left the memory in slot 2 but the computer will still crash every hour.
I am sure this is something to do with the memory but not sure what the problem is.
Can anyone help.

Need help upgrading BIOS - K8N Neo Plat

HELP!!!
I have bios 1.1 on my K8N Neo Plat. I have been trying all morning to upgrade my bios to 1.3, but have been unsucessful so far. Note that I do NOT have any fancy MSI programs installed (I don't like bloat).
Sooooo, I donloaded bios 1.3 from the MSI website. This is a little zip file. Then, I tried the following....
1) Install from an XP boot floppy. -- Flashing the bios appeared to work, but upon reboot, ver 1.1 was still there.
2) Install from Win98SE boot floppy. -- Same story. Flash appeared to work, but 1.1 was still present.
For both type of boot floppies, the flash program says that it is currently re-programming the bios, and it exits normally, without any errors. The filename that I was loading a file called "W7030NMS.130".
3) Just for giggles, I downloaded bios ver 1.1, and use the "FC" command to be certain that they were different.
4) I checked my BIOS screens for any hint of BIOS protection, but could not find any.
5) The readme file that came with the ver 1.3 said to work from the hard drive, but boot floppies do not seem to like NTFS. So I simply cannot do it this way unless I re-partition and re-format.
Any ideas???

Try making a boot floppy with this.
Thats Dr DOS Disk For Bios Flashing from http://www.bootdisk.com
It's pure DOS, and will work with any OS.

Msi k8n neo plat and microsoft ie

getting my msi k8n neo plat board running satisfactory , except for one problem . when i got to amdmb.com, i start surfing the site, and after a minute or 2, i get a microsoft ie error, send the error report to microsoft, and then ie closes. what is the problem , is it with amdmb.com site? its the only site that this problem with ie is present, all other sites i don,t have this problem

just tryed using the browser firefox, and it works great. its just ie that doesn,t work on amd.mb, and only that site. wierd problem, never experienced anything like it before. had run a short memtest , no errors. the 6800gt , msi k8n neo plat and amd 64 3400 work great. get some super madonion benchmarks-all default-1024 x 768 32bit- 22,755. i was hoping for 22,000, but exceeded my expectations. can get into the 23,000 + with overclocking the 6800gt, have had it overclocked at gpu-412, memory 1.12. not sure how much more you can increase the numbers, thinking my gpu is close to the limit at 412.had a problem with windvd, it ended up being a configuration in windvd- had to enable hardware acceleration , bingo- worked great after that. got my corsair xms pc 3200 to work at 6-3-3-2 timings. still getting to know the board, there is definately a learning curve to be delt with on this board, but i am getting it to work better by the day.

Msi k8n neo plat and 3dmark03

with my msi k8n neo plat , bfg 6800gt, and amd 64 3400 clawhammer- i get 11,114 in 3dmark03. seems like i should be getting a higher score-any suggestions.

You appear to have misread my post, read carefully, I said "at clock speeds" not "at stock speeds" which I think is where u misunderstood. I know it's overclocked, but who isn't going to if there is so much headroom? With coolbits you can have higher speeds when running 2d or 3d applications to keep temps low and for longevity of the card.

K8N NEO PLAT - Onboard sound problems

I got a really confusing problem, maybe one of you could help me with...
My brother has s754 k8n neo plat motherboard and he has always used the onbard sound controller. Yeasterday we formatted his computer, and did a fresh XP installation. Since then i cant get the sound to work properly, only if i put the headphones in the "blue" input instead of the green. The sound is very low but works there.....I installed the latest Realtek Audio driver from the MSI page. According to windows the sound works perfect, no driver issues reported or anything...The mp3's start playin but theres NO sound....
Could it be driver issue? Updated to the lates BIOS also btw.
Appreciate all help, thx...

K8N Neo Plat SM Bus Controller Problems

Hi, I just did a recent build witht the K8N Neo Plat and am having some problems.
My original build kept getting corrupt files from any self extractor that did a self verify. I could install windows and the MSI NForce Drivers but many files got corrupted. I finally figured out it was Bad Ram and replaced the PC 3200 I Was using with a stick of PC 2700 I had lying around. I installed windows with no problems and all of the windows updates(which were where I was getting corrupt files). But then when I installed the NForce3 Drivers from the MSI Cd I get blue screen of death, which I did not recieve with the bad ram. I then revert to last known good setting and can install of of the NForce3 drivers except for SM Bus Controller. I have tried using the NForce3 Drivers from the MSI CD and a download version. Both won't install, it still shows up with an exclamation point next to it in device manager. I have tried choosing the driver directly, but I get an accessed denied message. The only problem is when SM Bus won't install, I cant run my new 6800 GT at AGP 8X. It stays stuck in PCI mode.
Also I see a lot of talk about CPU Temps reported by BIOS. I am using the 1.1 Bios, and it shows the CPU running at 65-70C. Core Center shows this also. Is this just a misreported temp? Im using a 3400+ CLawhammer CG Revision with a Zalman 7000 ALCu with Arctic SIlver 5, the HSF seems to be screwed down completely, but the temp reading still makes me nervous.
Thanks for any help.

apply minimal heat paste
clamp sink down switch machine on
the prob is not the heat the prob is the chip clocking 8ghz
the sink and fan work really well
the bios is version 1.5 public
i'm trying to back flash it but i need version 1.1 .1.2. 1.3 and the prog to fash it
and an explanation (it's my first time lol)

Overclocking msi k8n neo plat

trying to overclock my msi k8n neo plat and run mad 2001
hardware - amd 64 3400
bfg 6800gt
corsair pc3200
i go into bios and set ram at 400mhz, set agp at 67 mhz. then open center and enter 210 mhz fsb. when i start madonion, it freezes. is it my memory?

Could be a ram incompatibility issue. I have some OCZ pc3500 EL which is great in my other systems, but doesn't work in the Neo without bluescreens and crashes to desktop. It might also be a power related issue. What type of power supply are you using and what is the amperage on the 12v rail? That seems to be pretty important for this board.

System restore? You need to find out what's causing the problem and you have too many things connected to it to be able to figure out what it is, always start with a basic system - video, primary hard disk, cd + fdd, no more and nothing else connected. Then when something goes wrong along the way you'll have more chance of narrowing it down if the problem appears.
What you'll want to do now is disable/uninstall/unplug any additional non-system-critical components that you have connected to it such as extra usb slots, printers, scanners and anything else. Keyboard, mouse, video with no sound and see if the problem persists. If it does, try another video driver. If it's fixed then reconnect/enable one device and try again until the problem reappears and you can find out what's causing it -- unless you can speed read that message quickly before it shuts down
Now that I think of it, have you set the OS to not automatically reboot on any errors? That might keep the BSOD up there so you can note it down and hopefully point at the problem instead of going through all the above hassle ^^

Overclocking Problems on K8N Neo Plat

As I had said that even when HTT is set 200 and memory divider used is 1:1 on my Corsair XMS (which was plugged in in my nF4 SLi mobo and has TCCD Ram chips) which is rated 2-2-2-5 at 200Mhz DDR and processor at stock speeds and voltage, memtest shows errors and system doesn't boots in windows.
Also my Ram sticks are rated 2.60V but when Vdimm set at auto Motherboard pumps 2.70V !! what's the problem , I use version 1.7 BIOS on my MSI K8N Neo Platinum
Is that going to harm my RAM
