  • 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)

  • 875P NEO-FIS2R no boot with memory problems

    I just got a NEO FIS2R board, a P4 2.6C, and two 512MB sticks of OCZ PC3200 Premier DDR.  I installed the board and connected only my hard drive, video card (GeForce4 Ti4200), both sticks of memory, and CPU (on a 300W PSU).  At first, the board would eventually make it to the "booting OS" stage, after spending a little time on "initializing video" (normal) and "assigning ISA" or something like that (don't know what that is, since the board has no ISA slot).  Unfortunately, although my monitor's light changed from yellow to green, meaning it was getting a signal, the screen remained blank.  I gave it a few minutes and finally turned off the computer.  After reseating the video card and memory and disconnecting the hard drive, the same problem occurred.  Finally, I took out one of the sticks.  After this, the computer hung on that ISA thing for about ten seconds, and then went back to "detecting memory" and gave a 2-1 error beep.  I switched between the two OCZ sticks and also two sticks slow generic PC2100 memory that I had in my old computer and I know work fine.  Eventually the computer stopped pausing at the ISA stage and went to the memory detection after only a second or so.  Since the video was obviously acting strange, I disconnected the video card so the computer contained only CPU and memory.  The bootup sequence was the same, except that in place of the single beep during video intialization, it gave me a 2-8 error code.  Finally, I took the board out of my case and laid it flat on the wooden table and tried again.  Still no boot.  I also cleared CMOS several times throughout this procedure, so that shouldn't be the problem.
    Can anyone figure out what's going on here?  It's especially confusing to me that the computer booted all the way (sans video) at first, then started having memory problems, and that the system passes the initial memory test but then goes back to it after that ISA thing (this is all according to the D-Bracket).

    On the compatability list, it says
    "Kingston KVR400X64C25/512
    W942508BH-5 (Winbond)"
    Since the memory I am looking at is CL2, does that mean it might not be compatible after all?
    If you're wondering whether the Kingston HyperX RAM you're looking at is the same as the Kingston RAM you've found on the compatibililty list, the answer is NO.  The RAM from the list that you're referring to has a model number that starts with "KVR", which stands for "Kingston Value RAM".  HyperX RAM has model numbers that start with the letters "KHX".
    You might also note that there is no listing for any of the HyperX stuff on that compatibility chart.  However, I have seen posts from several people on this forum who seem to be using HyperX RAM with no problem.  I suspect that MSI hasn't updated that list in awhile, because there are no listings for many of the newer PC 3500, 3700, and 4000 RAM models.
    I personally went 512mb (2x256) of OCZ PC3200EL DDR RAM, it is listed as 'OCZ (PN- OCZ400256EL ) PN- OCZ400256EL' on the compatibility chart.  I had plenty of problems trying to run a set of Corsair TwinX 3200PCT ver. 1.2 on my 875P NEO board, and I settled them by switching over to the OCZ RAM only because it was listed.  While it wasn't my first choice I'm pretty happy with it because so far it's been running stable at CAS 2,2,3,6, with the voltage at 2.65.

  • 875p Neo - PC halts on Cold Boot (Initalising Keyboard)

    Everytime I press the power on button on my PC you can hear the power start up, cd and dvd rom light come on and hard disk light comes on for a short period of time.  If you then press reset or press the power on and off again - it all springs to life !!!!!   !!!
     :O  This problem is Pi*#ng me right off!!! Loads of people are complaining of it - what are you doing about it MSI???
    I Cleared the Cmos, upgraded to 1.4 bios but that made no difference.
    My spec is:
    · Enermax 430watt PSU
    · MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R Motherboard
    · Intel P4 3ghz, 800fsb Processor
    · 2 Geil PC3200 400Mhz 512mb Memory Modules
    · Clean install of Windows 2000 Professional
    · Coolermaster 201 Aluminium ATX Case
    · Western Digital Caviar Special Edition 100GB HD
    · Sony DRU-500AX DVD Writer
    · NEC DVD Rom
    · Gainward Geforce4 Ti4200 X8 AGP with 128mb DDR Ram
    . Videologic Sonic Fury Soundcard
    · HCS PCI 56k Modem
    I looked at the MSI manual, which said to look at the back of the machine at the D-Bracket LED’s, which is supposed to tell you what is wrong. Every time the fault happened the LED’s pattern (according to the manual codes on page 10) showed that it was the “Initialising Keyboard Controller”.
    I Changed the Keyboard but the problem still exists. I pulled the machine apart bit by bit to see if any one piece of hardware was the cause - but the problem still occurred! I even tried another PSU and hard disk but NOOOOOOOOO! didn't work.
    My mem timings are set by SPD and I have tried lower settings.
    I have sent a more detailed version of this to MSI Tech Support 3 days ago - BUT HEARD NOTHING. Arrrrrggggghhhh !!
    Anyone with any solutions??? PLEASE HELP!!!!
    Trevor Hatley.

    Thanks guys, I'll keep that in mind, but I have just heard from my retailer that they are sending me a brand new motherboard!!  Wahoooo!  Great service from http://www.pcupgrade.co.uk
    Do you think I should upgrade to 1.5 bios when I get my replacement mobo????
    Anyone had any 1.5 problems??
    Please let me have your comments.
    Thanks,

  • MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R support booting from USB devices?

    I am building a super computer using the MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R. I would like to either get a USB pen drive, or an external Floppy Disk Drive in place of an internal Floppy Disk Drive.
    Does anyone know if this board supports booting from a USB device?

    I ordered my board as well, however, they were out of stock and it may be as long as 2 weeks before they get more in. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get yours from? I am VERY much excited about getting this board as I only await the MB and CPU. What all are you putting in yours??
    Mine:
    MB-   Obvious
    CPU-  2.4 800Mhz
    RAM-  2 sticks, 256 PC 3200 XMS Corsair using dual channel, at first I think I will use the 512 pc3200 I already have though.
    HDD-  80GIG W/D 7200 RPM ( May get another to run RAID 0)
    VGU-  Chaintech TI4200 at 8x w/ 128 DDR
    CD#1- 52x cd rom
    CD#2- dvd 16x, cdr 48 cdrw24 cdrom 48
    500W raidmax Pwr Sup
    Koolcases Panther case w/ window and 3 80MM/ 1 60MM fans
    For now I will even use the old 3.5 A drive. Just in case.
    Red light internaly
    Digidoc 5 for thermal monitoring on:
    1.cpu  2.ram  3.VGU 4.case 5.HDD 6.other ram 7.chipset 8.dvd for curiousity sake. just curious of the temps they produce. but always able to move it to a more vital area if the need arises.
    Will be upgrading to liquid cooling in the future, that way when I am deployed the temps stay in the blue. (HOPEFULLY)

  • [875P Neo] Random crashes

    I got various problems with
    875P Neo-FISR (PCB 2.0)
    1G Corsair TWINX1024-3200C2PRO
    ASUS 8420 (or 8240 don't really remember now) Ti4200
    Creative SBLive! Value - need it because of gaming port.
    All have latest drivers. The system runs at "setup defaults" all the performance related stuff set to "slow", no overclocking either. I've also noticed if I disable Hyper Threading the errors come out twice as fast.
    win98 problems: I experience strange "out of memory errors" when running mechwarrior 4 mercenaries over internet (connected to the DLink LAN router). It crashes randomly after 4 - 10 minutes of the game. At some stage I got to a point when I could play for about 1 hour straight without crashes. I zipped that windows configuration and decided to try different video drivers, since then it fails every time.
    w2k problems: random crashes occured couple of times:
    I was doing windows file search on both network and local drive, at some point it's just rebooted without warning.
    Second crash was when I was running antivirus software: heavy access to FAT partition. Though it's not the virus since the rest of the drives show no viruses.
    I'm trying to find some decent overall testing utilities so I can reproduce the problem 100% and get it replaced or something. Can you recommend anything?

    Hi borg,
    You posted similar in another thread.......please follow what I have said and check the link.......  
    You will NOT have problems.....
    I have tested both win98se and winME upto 1.5Gb Mem and no problems!!! Gaming is super fast!!!  
    Have also used RAMDISK software......but had problems under win2K and NT......so not advised...
    Win98 has yet to be beat AS the best gaming Platform yet!!!! I say though Doom under DOS 6.22 is better than Doom under Win 95, 98, etc....

  • 875P Neo-FISR vs. 865PE Neo2-V

    Hi, I appreciate any help with this question. I own 2 different MIS motherboards currently and would like to know which would be the better one to use for my system build.
    875P Neo-FISR
    or
    865PE Neo2-V
    Specs:
    Pentium4 3.2ghz socket 478
    2 sticks of PC3200 512mb DDR memory ( kingston Hyperx)
    MSI geforce 6600 agp
    500watt psu ( XG )
    Does it matter what board I use?
    Thanks!

    875P chipset supports ECC RAM and 865PE/P chipset doesn't.
    875P FISR is the 2nd Rev from the predecessor 875P FIS2R and has better support for Prescott CPUs. 865PE Neo2-V is a cutdown version of the predecessor 865PE Neo2 S/LS/FIS2R/PLS/P and has only 2 RAM slots.
    To put the 2 for comparsion, I would choose the 875P Neo FISR but if you are not comparing the cutdown version of the 865PE chipset, I would still favour the 865PE chipset.

  • Problem with S-ATA optical drive(MSI 875P Neo)

    Ahoy MSIers,
    I am in a most dire situation, and before I go to spend money on some computer-tech guy to solve my problem, I thought maybe you could help me.
    *My PC specs:
    Intel Pentium 4 Northwood C 2800Mhz
    MSI 875P Neo
    A-DATA 512Mb RAM DDR 400 * 2(1024)
    PowerColor Radeon 9800Pro
    Western Digital Hard Drive 80Gb 8Mb buffer P-ATA
    Pioneer DVR-212D S-ATA (The main issue here)
    Bios - AMIBIOS - VERSION 3.31a
    Windows XP Pro - SP2
    Until 2 days ago I owned an MSI CD(P-ATA) burner which was virtually dead.
    2 days ago, It died completely, So I decided that I will not just replace a CD burner for a CD burner... no! I will buy myself a new shiny DVD burner!
    So I bought myself a Pioneer DVR-212D(S-ATA) and I went on with installing it.
    I plugged the Serial Power Cable from the PSU to the drive, and connected the drive and the S-ATA port on my M-Board with a serial-ata cable.
    I booted up, and found that the device was nowhere to be found although power is being transferred to it(the drive opens and closes when pressing it's eject button).
    I searched the net and found that I was supposed to "enable" S-ATA in my BIOS.
    Tried that, yet every setting I tried besides the default setting gives makes the computer freeze for a few minutes at the MSI logo and then a "friendly" error massage appears, usually it's something like
    "4th master drive ATAPI incompatible" ( the number changes, I haven't got a clue why).
    Searched the net a bit more and found almost nothing... most s-ata "problems" were about booting from a s-ata hard drive....
    I am getting desperate, So in order to maximize the chances of me getting help solving this issue, I took a few pictures of the BIOS and the inside of my case... maybe it will help, I dunno.
    Here are some pics:
    The S-ATA cable connected to the Mother-Board
    Back of the DVD burner with the S-ATA cable attached
    BIOS - standard CMOS features
    BIOS - Integrated Peripherals
    On-Chip IDE configuration
    P.S
    I have a DVD ROM(Toshiba, nothing special) and I would of course occasionally like to burn Dvds/Cd's from my DVD ROM to my DVD burner. However, seeing as the DVD burner is S-ATA, there is no physical connection what so ever between the two drives(unlike in P-ATA connection where each cable has 3 "connections", 2 for drives(hard or optical) and one for the Motherboard) I really don't know how I can "achieve" this.

    A friend of my father's, whose occupation is a computer technician toke a look at the PC and bios settings today.
    WE tried EVERYTHING and It still wouldn't work so we concluded that the problem is probably in the hardware.
    There were two possible "suspects" here - The Mother Board(specificially the S-ATA controller/ports on it) or the drive itself.
    We connected the drive to my sister's computer and it worked like a charm.
    So the answer was clear - something was wrong with the board.
    I replaced my S-ATA drive for an IDE drive, and all is well.
    Well
    that's the end of that story 

  • Dvd and cd/r audio connection to 875P Neo

    Hey -
    I'm new to the msi forums - so pardon if this is too newbie or too general - but I did try to search the archives and knowledge base and FAQs!
    Question is:  Can I connect the audio from both a DVD drive and CD/R/RW directly to the 875P Neo mobo to use the built-in audio - or do I need a separate sound card to do that?  I can't find an audio AUX in.
    Thanks - Howard

    There's only 1 connector so I suggest you connect the DVD drive to JCD1, as it's the most logical choice for A/V playback.
    Restrict your CD-R/RW to writing or digital playback only
    (Right click on the CD-R/RW drive and select Properties - Hardware - and select "Enable digital CD audio for this CD-ROM device")
    Otherwise, you would need a PCI sound card - preferably with AUX and CD inputs - and disable onboard sound.

    Something that is reliable and gives at least 220W combined for 3.3+5V rails ( an doesn\'t just print 220w combined on the sticker either, I can buy tose for 15$ )
    If it was a simple timing problem the RAM would be fixed at 333MHz already, if it was an actual bad stick it would probably give errors at any frequency.
    a Antec True Power 480W ATX (AMD&P4 OK) are on the way, you think it's enough?
    about the memory, 333 didn't work, caused errors in memtest, 266 didn't...

  • How much phases power supply does the 875P Neo FIS2R got ??

    How much phases power supply does the 875P Neo FIS2R got  ?(
    And will it be enough for the Prescott  ?(

    Prescott will be made on a 0.09u process so it should use less power per MHz, I wouldn't worry about that.
    According to what I see it has 6 power regulators which usually means 3 phase.

  • Is the 875P Neo-FIS2R a bad mb?

    Like the title says:
    Is the 875P Neo-FIS2R a bad motherboad? I can understand that tis is a place where you will find more problems then anything else. But I mostly see motherboard specific problems, that occur on many mb's of the same type. I find that a bit disturbing...
    A friend of mine never had any troubles with it, then again, he might not tell me, or he is lucky. But based on his 'good' experience I have a 875P lying here right now.
    I cannot use it yet since I am missing a graphic card to go with it, I expect that to arrive next Tuesday. Im a bit nervous now.....
    Another question while I'm at it: will both controllers (the Intel and the Promise) work, or are the mutual exclusive. So I guess I mean is: do I have 3 P-ATA connectors on my mb or either 2 or 1??
    If it is the latter option, that would be lame, then I would have to insert my PCI card with a pomise controller....

    I have to say the 875P is definitely NOT a bad motherboard as long as you have approved components. It works very well for "standard" usage. It has all of the top features from Intel - 875P chipset, 10Gbit CSA, ICH5R, ADI audio, firewire, etc.
    I am concerned with some things MSI could/should have done better in the first place:
    1. Wrong NB temp (and it seems to be affected by NBFAN)
    2. No SFAN speed monitoring though it wouldn't have cost more to put it in ... X(
    3. Slow frequency of BIOS release or update fixes vs other "top tier" motherboard manufacturers
    4. More issues than others with popular memory modules
    5. Confusing or "poorly documented" BIOS features/interface leave tweakers less in control
    6. Corecell, DOT & MAT, BIOS are still a work in progress
    When you start looking for topnotch performance and stability via tweaking OR major overclocking - that is where it falls short - contrary to what their marketing says.
    Read this thread  where an 875P owner compares his new Asus P4C800E Deluxe (after his 875P Neo failed and had to go for RMA). I summarize his "review" here:
    Quote
    Criteria on MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R vs ASUS P4C800E DeLuxe

    Extra Goodies:
    ASUS - ability to use USB ARMD devices and emulate them as floppies, HDD, and even CD-ROM
    MSI - AUTO overclocking (Captain, etc. on the Neo boards - 5%, 10% etc on the Asus boards) works much better
    quote:
    ... the Asus is much less of a problem child when setting up. So my final ruling is, don't expect much more from the ASUS board, but if you are fed up with your 875P Neo, or are returning/RMA-ing your board anyway, you might be pleasantly surprised with what the ASUS P4C800/E/Deluxe can do for you.
    I think you'll find similiar comparisons from 865PE Neo2 users who had tried the P4P800...
    So far many have said they're still keeping their MSI boards when RMA comes back
    Conclusions:
    - Good HW but FW/SW satsifactory~needs_improvement.  :]
    - If you don't do major tweaking , and want stability + full features, the 875P is a GOOD board overall, IMHO.  8)

  • 875P Neo with new Corecell DOT???

    I happened to see the new MSI875P NEO with a sticker with MSI new CoreCell chip with D.O.T (Dynamic Overclocking Technology).
    Can this be done with the BIOS?

    As the 875P Neo and the 865PE Neo2 are derived from almost the same design, I wouldn't be surprised if DOT comes to the 875P soon.
    It was first implemented on 865PE and should be possible through a BIOS update as the major components were already in place - the CoreCell chip and the freq & voltage adjustment settings.
    I wish MSI would drop the corny military ranks though and use a better technical analogy.
    Also, I think the voltage ranges they provide for Vcore, Vagp and Vmem are ridiculously extreme on one end, so maybe they should consider moving the ranges
    Also, fix those temperature readings for System and NB.
    But most importantly, give the option to fix the AGP/PCI clock!

  • Quick 875P NEO question

    alright yes im going to sound like a noob when i ask this question, but i dont care cause i wanna get this right...anyways
    i have a P4 3.06GHZ 533fsb northwood processor - now, will this work in the  MSI 875P NEO?
    i have a 655 MAX now and what a bad egg that turned out to be after all the hype about it, so i decided to take all recent advice, leave SiS and go Intel
    the rest of my computer is:
    WD 120GB 8MB Special Edition HDD
    ATi Radeon 9700 Pro
    2x256 OCZ pc-3200
    400 watt PSU
    i dont think the processor will be a problem, but for some reason i was questioning it, everything else should be fine. thanks for any input, you guys have been a great help through my 1st commputer building experience

    i just saw something intersting on the information page for the 875P neo-lsr
    go here : http://www.msicomputer.com/product/detail_spec/product_detail.asp?model=875P_NEO-LSR
    now scroll down under main memory and it says "(*In order to use DDR 400, FSB 800 CPU is required)"
    why would this be?? i have a p4 3.06 with 533 mhz fsb in my 655 max now and run dual ddr-400, why would it require 800 mhz fsb to use ddr-400 in a newer board? is it something with the chipset?  also if it is not possible for me to use the ddr-400 is already have, can i use it as ddr-333?

  • First Impressions of 875P Neo FSI2R

    Hello All, first off i'd like to make some comments about this board.
    My Abit IC7-G needed to be returned, so i did a little research on a replacement as the aforementioned board has its quirks, ( Only wished i'd found these forums before i'd purchased. )  so i decided on the 875P Neo FSI2R as it was the closest to my previous setup.
    Now this board is really pissing me off , doesnt MSI have any quality control ?
    1. How can my WD Raptors work fine on the ABIT board using ICH5R , but the MSI have these damn problems ?
    2. The voltages are far from stable , i set 1.60 in bios and it varies from 1.52 - 1.62
    3. I hope the person responsible for the IDE LED not working on SATA has been taken out and dealt with (THIS IS JUST LAZINESS ON MSI's PART)
    4. this board is much slower than the IC7-G
    5. Its a real shame , i cant use this board i will really miss those northbridge lights.
    6. i have my doubts as to if these problems can be fixed with a bios upgrade so reluctanly i am returning this board for something else ... any suggestions ?
    This isnt meant as a flame or to enrage happy Neo owners.
    Kind Regards
    Amigan.

    As far as the problems with the Raptors on the ICH5R I'm afraid I don't have a definitive answer. Only a few ideas that might help. I have had my Seagate 7200.7 drives connected to it as Raid/non-Raid a few times with no problems. Generally unless I'm playing around I keep them on the Promise controller for better performance(no PCI cards).
    1. I'm not sure how old your Raptors are but the first bunch are known to have had trouble with some motherboards. If you look under the drive at the IDE-SATA bridge chip there is a number on the chip that has the letters "BxP" in it where x is a number probably below 6. Apparently the B3P's and below cause problems in many cases and the B4P's in less cases as well. B5P and up is supposed to be good. There is no fix that I'm aware of. At the very least I would run the WD drive diagnose utility to check for problems.
    2. Make sure the cables are properly secured and not overly bent. No hard 90 degree angles with serial cables.
    3. Perhaps a conflict with other devices. Make sure the "APIC...IRQ" setting is enabled in the Bios to free up more IRQ's in XP. You can also disable serial ports in the Bios (super I/O config I think) for more IRQ's if you're not using them.
    4. Raid driver problem. Check the version of the Intel Raid Bios and make sure the drivers used are same or newer. They might have used an old version on the floppy that came with motherboard.
    It sounds like you know what you're doing but try scrolling through the Intel portion of the Raid Guide and see if you missed anything. If you're going to try configuring the Raid again, why not enable Raid in the Bios and install Raid drivers during the Windows install but only on 1 drive. Run with 1 drive for a while and see if the corruption occurs. If not, migrate to Raid0 with the second drive as described in the Raid guide. Sometimes just installing something in a different way will solve an unidentified problem.
    Sorry I can't come up with something more definite. I just haven't experienced anything like the problem you're having. You're not booting 2 different OS's from that drive are you?
