[VIA Series] PT880 Overclocking Issue

Well i can't Overclock as high as i thought i could i can overclock to 3.6 but thats nearly stable any higher then i have to reboot i was thinking of a bios degrade from 1.9 - 1.7 i herad 1.7 unlocks multiplyers so im thinking that that could help my overclocking issue and plus on top of that i can't raise my CPU V Core only my DDR and AGP south Bridge and North Bridge and thats it i found out that overclocking on Factory settings got me a higher overclock and putting the divder and 6/5 166Mhz. Any Ideas on higher overclocking i have a Nice cooler Thermal Take Spark 7+ maybe artic silver 5 would help and well heres my specs-
Intel Pentium 4 3.2E Prescott
MSI PT880 FSR Board (7043)
1 Gigabyte Kingston Hyper X (Dual Channel)
GeForce 4 MX 420 64 Meg (4X)
60 Gigabyte Maxtor Sata
and alot of case fans
350 Watt Power Supply Stock

Hi,
The Prescott is dynamic voltage, therefore you cannot "SET" volltage.
If you are going to "play" with North and South Bridge voltages..........get a heatsink for south bridge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You should post in OVERCLOCKING part of Forum. You may receive better support there.

[VIA Series] PT880 doesn't recognize SATA disk at first boot

Hello everybody,
I have an MSI PT880 that works fine since one year with a 40 Gb ATA Maxtor hard drive.
I have just bought a 80 Gb SATA hard drive (Maxtor model 6L080M0) and have a very annoying problem:
- when I power on the computer, the VIA Sata Bios tells me that it doesn't find any Sata disk (and WinXP doesn't boot...),
- then if I press Ctrl-Alt-Del or the Reset button to boot again, the Sata Bios find the Sata disk (and WinXP starts...),
- as long as the computer isn't power off, I can reboot many times, the Sata Bios will always find the Sata disk and boot WinXP,
- but if I power off the computer, then power on, the Sata disk is not recognized.
I'm sure that the hard disk is not defective, because I have tried with another one (same model), and the same problem occurs.
I also tried to flash the Bios to the latest release (1.9), same problem...
My Config:
- MSI PT880 Neo-LSR with latest BIOS available (V1.9)
- INTEL Pentium 4C 2.4 Ghz
- 2 x 256 Infineon PC3200 (Dual mode)
- SAPPHIRE 9800 Pro
- ATA Hard drive: 40 Gb Maxtor (6E030L0) on first IDE controller
- SATA Hard drive: 80 Gb Maxtor (6L080M0) on first SATA controller
- Yamaha CRW-F1E and PIONNER DRV-105 optical drive on second IDE controller
- Win XP SP2

By "booting outside the case", you mean: extracting the motherboard from the case, putting it on a table, and trying to boot with only the mobo, the cpu, a new memory module, a simple video card, and the Sata HDD
I can try that but it' not easy... and the mobo is out of warranty
Don't you think that it could be a Sata Bios bug that appears only with this Maxtor hard drive model
As I've just bought this hard drive, I think that I'm going to exchange it for a Western Digital or a Seagate...

[VIA Series] pt880 network problems

is anyone running PT880 Neo-LSR motherboard, windows xp sp2 and is able to use the lan port. I have two boards that seem to have the same problem loaded windows xp loaded the newest driver my pc come up fine my os see the nic card with no trouble no error it gets a ip but is unable to communicate in the network.

...loaded the newest driver my pc come up fine my os see the nic card with no trouble no error it gets a ip but is unable to communicate in the network...
maralv I had a similar problem recently. Everything LOOKED ok wrt IPs; the NIC could ping-and-be-pinged, but would not appear on the Windows network.
The problem went away when I uninstalled and reinstalled the NIC (VIA Rhine II) driver, reverting to the earlier MSI driver (sorry I don't recall if from the MSI disk or from the MSI website or from the VIA website--I will look).
EDIT: I'm now running the driver from viaarena.com. It's called Version 41 dated 06-May-05 and v3.44 shows-up in driver properties.
I had gotten an "updated" driver from the MS Windows website, and though it didn't fail right away, the only thing I can think is that it might be buggy in some way.

[VIA Series] PT880 Neo-FSR...SOOOO ANGRY!

Hi all,
I bought my PT880 Neo-FSR around late January/early February and until recently I hadn't been doing anything too memory intensive. Recently I bought World of Warcraft and have had many crashes. First it was tolerable, then when it got really bad i thought it was Blizzard's fault. I checked their boards and went throught their steps to rectify. One of which was the memtest86.
I ran the memtest and found that my Corsair was bad, both sticks! So i tried some Kingston. All of it also bad. 7 sticks of memory. I thought, "There's no way that could be right." So I ran memtest on another computer, a cheapie eMachine. Every piece of memory i had was A-ok. I thought i'd get a third PC involved for a final say. I ran the memtest again (mulitple passes each time mind you) and again no errors.
I came here to see if anyone else had a similar problem, and yeah. But no solution for me. This is pretty much my hail-mary. I'd really like help from someone more knowledgeable than myself. I really do not want to buy a new mobo, but WoW is a subscription game...i'd really like to play it as well as edit video, or record stuff with my video card.
If you have any solutions for me PLEASE, I really need help. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

ConeJodc, it's not your memory. Some will tell you it's your pwr supply, some will tell you to change your ddr voltage... it's none of that. This mobo is crap in my opinion because it's got the VIA name on it. Everything I've ever owned that had a VIA chipset eventually blew up (usually it was crap to begin with).
See my latest update in my post regarding this motherboard.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=79880.0
The same memory that tested bad in my PT880 Neo-FSR runs perfectly fine in my new 865PE Neo2.
Return it if you can and get the intel based 478 board.

[VIA Series] Inncorrect FSB issue

I have recently purchased the new PM8M-V series mobo, 1 stick of kingston KVR 512MB ddr400 RAM and a P4E 3.0Ghz 800mhz fsb processor.
After putting the pats in and setting up my system, I notice in the BIOS that the system FSB is at 200mhz. The board is supposed to be a 800/533 mhz FSB board and the RAM I have is PC3200 DDR 400 kingston RAM. The processor is a 800mhz FSB processor. Why does my BIOS show the FSB as 200Mhz? How do I get it to go to 400, 533, or 800 Mhz? The manual that came with the board is very sparse on information pertaining to configuration.
Please help!

it is because of the QUAD PUMPED bus speed, this means, QUAD PUMPED= 200 Mhz FSBx4=800MHZ FSB speed. that simple.
and your processor speed is determined by 200mhz FSB x 15 multiplier = 3.0 Ghz

[VIA Series] PT880 Neo - 2 dead PCI slots?

Scanning through the forums, I didn't see anything relevant so here goes.
I bought my board not too long ago and have been slowly adding peripherals to my system. I try to spread things out when choosing a PCI slot for a new card. Well, looking at my sig, I have discovered that two of my PCI slots are dead.
When I say dead, I mean that I'll install a card there (previously never installed), boot up to Windows, and wait for the Found New Hardware dialog. I think that this is slightly broken, so I go to the Device Manager and none of my new items show up with uninstalled or installed drivers. I crack my case, move the card to one of the working slots, and everything is dandy.
For the record, I refer to PCI 1 as the closest PCI slot to the AGP slot (most central physically on the motherboard). Inheritently, PCI 5 is the slot closest to the corner of the motherboard. I am having problems with slots 2 and 3.
I am hoping that there is a dip switch or a rule similar to memory slot usage that will fix this problem. I have not found a solution yet and am hoping that someone here can help.
Thanks.

Update the BIOS, clear the CMOS, if ur problem is not solved, RMA the mainboard.

[VIA Series] PT880 Neo-FSR hangs during POST after connecting USB device

I "successfully" built a new machine from scratch for the first time. Windows 2000 was installed and working with updates. I connected an iPod to a USB port (during the iTunes software installation) and the machine froze. After a power cycle, the machine will not successfully boot. After the fact, I discovered that the grounding wires on the USB2 connector were no longer connected. I'm not 100% sure that I plugged the iPod into the USB ports connected to USB2, but that's a good assumption.
On reboot, the screen starts normally. When the line "DEL: Setup F11: Boot Menu F12:Network Boot TAB: Logo F10: Flash Recovery" appears, the machine stops. The next line reads "Flash Recovery". The D-Bracket2 indicator lights stop at "Testing Base and Extended Memory".
I'm unable to select any of the options to enter the BIOS setup, etc. I tried clearing the CMOS data using the jumper and I now get the logo screen, but the system still hangs with the same D-Bracket2 lights.
I do not have any spare memory, so if I need to swap it out for diagnostics, I'll have to go shopping.
Is there any way to salvage this board or did I permanently fry it?

No luck on entering BIOS or getting graphic screen to clear.
To clarify, I cleared the CMOS in despiration after the system hung and I couldn't get into BIOS. I don't remember all the details from the original screen (before it was obscured by the graphic!), but I know that there was no "error message" per se. Everything appeared normal except that "Flash Recovery" appeared an additional time below the "DEL: Setup..." line. Before clearing the CMOS, I had no apparent response from any key. (DEL, F10, F11, F12, etc.)
I'm inclined to assume that I managed to actually fry something on the board, but I'm hoping to get that confirmed before buying a replacement.

MOVED: Overclocking issues with Neo2 Platinum

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
Overclocking issues with Neo2 Platinum

hiya nocturnal
1st in Integrated Peripherals / IDE Function Setup....disable sata1/sata2 dma transfer and enable sata3/sata4 dma transfer...sata 3 is top on left side of board one closest to cpu.
2nd ... Cell Menu / DRAM configuration is where you set memory timing 1T/2T
3rd...Cell Menu / AGP Frequency ..set it to 67
just My 2 cents but why don't you take Everything back to stock (cpu & vid card) , Do the above and see if it will boot. the biggest problem you have (my opinion) is your memory...you do not state if it is pc3200/400 ...if it is go 200 Max Memclock (step 2, 1st option)
set the CAS settings to stock..see if you can boot to windows, then and only then go Play as in see what your sandie will do with that memory..Leave your vid card stock until you get a stable windows enviorment...also if you do shift F2 ..alt F3 it opens up other settings within our bios
I believe you will be upgrading your memory real soon if ya got the o/c bug
Hope this helps
ps...by the way what type of power supply do you have ?

[VIA Series] Can't get dual channel on P4 3.2 HT MSI PT880 Neo ?????

When I boot up it says 64 bit single channel, this is confirmed by CPU-Z.
I bought 2 PQI 3200 512 DAH Dual channel memory sticks (Identical) bought in a single package ($159.00) when I got this Mobo and machine , originally Fry's installed them in slot 1 and 2,javascript:void(0);
noidea
I've moved them to slot 2 and 3 which accordinhg to the hand book and what I've seen in forums should enable the dual channel mode. Still single channel. I've set the bios to force dual mode and still I'm in single mode. I don't know if this is related but anytime I've ever tried to use top perfromance or best performance settings in BIOs it won't reboot and I have to clear the CMOS so no overclocking for me...... I have the latest Bios version 2.0, just updated that from 1.90 todayand all the latest VIA drivers etc.

I wondered why Sandra said my memory was choking my processor. Its 800 FSB and HT is enabled. In addition, I have frequent BSOD issues, IRQ less or not equal, pagefile in non paged area, I just want to play some battlefield without getting kicked to desk top or boot.....
Other question, sitting here typing this and my CPU temp is 46 C.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm not sure what I've missed and I'm a noob at this stuff, would increasing the voltaqe help????

The online manual for the PT880 NEO-FSR says slots 1 and 3 are used for dual channel.
I don't know about the Via chipsets, but the Intel chipsets need the DDR voltage set to at least 2.65 for stable operation.

[VIA Series] msi pt880fsr+p4 NW 1.8 fsb400 + bba ati radeon 9600xt 256 issue

hi again another post, i had troubles playing unther this configuration
pentium 4 northwood 1800 fsb 400mhzç
msi pt880 neo fsr,
512mb in 1 256 ddr 400 cas 2.5 adn 1 256mb ddr 266 cas 3.0(older) i had both running at 266mhz cas 3
ati radeon 9600 xt 256mb
the vga drivers are the lastest catalyst from ati 5.6 (i think)
the issue show during play, the vga hangs and the ati vpu recover, reinit the vpu, thts happen 1,2,3 and then the game hangs adn no posibble restart, this happen with nfsu 2, and some issue with battlefield 2, and midnight club 2
i think it's about the memeos and/or processor
the first time i boot this machine with the bios defaults, the vpu do the same but in windows, then i change the memory bus to266 and never happen again
now only happen with games running
may be somthing about the memory or the processor (too slow, to old), but i really didn't know

No you are wrong basically, to run a P4 system with your system build, I would say that you'll need a 430watts PSU with min 18A on +12v rail for the system to be stable running. The power consumption will hit a constant hype during gaming when your CPU is running at 100% and VGA card is also running at 100% to deliever the graphics and speed needed by the games.
Here's some guides for your reference: Power Supply Guide P4 Neo Unofficial Guide Moan Guide. You can also refer to the stickies on top of the forum as well as popping into our Good Articles Forum to find out more about the new requirements that is needed in real life enviroment.

Z68a-GD55 Overclocking issues (OC settings not working on reboot)

Hi all;
Quick synopsis of my issue - Z68A-GD55 board, I5-2500k chip; overclocking the CPU to 4.2 Ghz, bios version .50 according to Live Update 5 scans. Whenever I reboot my machine, the CPU returns to default settings (Intel quick boost, chip running at 16x multiplier idle, 33x under load instead of 42x constantly). I don't know why the overclocking settings won't affect my machine after reboot. I've tried updating the bios to .60 via Live Update, but it doesn't seem to take. When I look in the BIOS settings, it still looks like my OC settings are there, but the CPU still only runs at 33x. Any hints / help?

Sorry about that; let me try again.

This is what I've tried so far for overclocking settings :
1) Set the multiplier to something close to the base setting; say x38. No Voltage changes. Boot into windows, stress test with prime 95; everything looks ok. Reboot the machine, and the system acts as if the multiplier is still x33, even though the BIOS reads x38.
2) Using the OC Genie to test; this sets the multiplier to x42, CPU Voltage to 1.350 (and a few other settings I don't have access to at work, at the moment). Boots fine into windows, passes prime 95 tests; I've played BF3 for hours at this setting. I reboot, system runs as if the BIOS were back at default.

Overclocking issue with a Z68A-G43 MB and 4*2 GB DDR3 Gskill memory kits

Hi,
On my old MB, I overclocked my I5 2500k CPU to 4.2 Ghz , It was running with 4*2GB DDR3 modules and everything was stable since several months.
I use the same components on my new Z68A-G43 MB but I don't manage to start my PC in the same conditions.
The PC runs well in normal mode (not OC ) with the 4x2GB DDR3 modules
The PC runs well when overclocked to 4.2 Ghz (and it is very stable) with 2*2 GB GSkill DDR3 (1600 MHz CAS 7, reference - F3-12800CL7 2GBECO) modules placed in DIMM 1 & 3
But, when overclocked, the PC refuses to boot with 4*2GB DDR3 modules, after adding 2x2 GB GSkill DDR3 (1600 MHz CAS 8 , F3- reference - 12800CL8 2GBRM ) modules placed in DIMM 2 & 4
Same problem with 2x2 GB KINGSTON DDR3 (1600 MHz CAS 9, reference 99005403 - 125.A01LF ) modules placed in DIMM 2 & 4
I tried the most of the recommended settings in the overclocking forum: OC genie enabled or not , XMP enabled or not , timings manually set according to information given by CPUZ , decreasing the frequency of the DDR3 to 1333 Mhz...
In summary, my PC refuses to boot due to a memory issue (3 beeps at launch) when I put 4*2GB of DDR3 with a 4.2 Ghz OC (whereas it was running fine for months on my old motherboard P67A- GD65 ).
The PC runs fine with 4*2GB of DDR3 without OC or with only 2*2GB of DDR3 with a 4.2 Ghz OC.
Do you have any idea how to solve this problem ?
thank you for your advice

Yes. Get a factory matched and tested together RAM kit. Corsair work well on this series mainboard. That or try to increase the DRAM V. to 1.65v's, loosen the timings for all sticks to 9 9 9 24, CR 2. Good luck!
