I just went from a 3700 San Diego to an X2 4400, and I get this BSOD almost every time I try to shut down my computer after the cpu swap. The computer was almost 100% stable before the cpu swapout (I'm not overclocking right now) but I don't want to blame this on the new cpu since a quick google search makes it seem like it's a common issue.

I'd rather not go with a bios update if possible, but I will if I have to. The bios I'm using has been working great for a long time now and I've had no real problems with the computer other than this BSOD on shutdown/reboot problem.

Oh yes, I use a powered USB hub and still get the BSOD even when no USB devices are plugged in.

TIA!

Did you reinstall Windows?

What BIOS you curently running?

Wich program do you guys use to mod a bios from the MSI K8N NEO 2? I need this because I cant select the advanced timings for my memory! :mad: I saw bios release for tccd ram and other ram but they dont fit for my memory.

BIOS from AWARD, right ? If yes, then modbin6_1.00.38.
http://tinc.narod.ru/bios/modbin6_1.00.38.zip
It work correctly only under DOS.

A quick question, What kind of amps/watts/current can a fan header handle on the motherboard?

I went through my manual, the web site and did not find the answer. I was told on another forum to expect 0.5A max.

Also, how will 2gigs run on this board/ should i expect problems? THX for any help...:toast:

I have tried uccc but for some reason my msi did not like them, and with kigston it was even worse. So for 2X1gb i would suggest a pair of supertalents. With 2.8 they easily did 240 3-3-3 with the rest of the timings quite tight. They like the extra voltage so i am waiting for summer to go by so that i can mod my 3.3 and up the vmem to 3 and see what happens.
144 here also @2950@1.55

Anyone had a problem with this motherboards GigaLAN not working? I've tried everything I can think of. I even reformatted XP. The network device shows that it's working, but it's not receiving any data.

Going to try this:

Component:
Integrated nVidia LAN

Links: Problems with LAN
K8n Neo .. lan died

Problem pops up:
Suddenly.

Problem description:
The nVidia NIC is working just well, then, suddenly, there is no LAN traffic, the network link exists but you get no responses to pings and there is no internet, you don't have a IP. There are no enumerated LAN devices.

Possible cause:
The O.S(XP) turned OFF the NIC interface to save power.

Possible work around:
Remove the motherboard stand by power. Shut down O.S.. and remove AC from PSU by two/three minutes.
After this, disable the save power option in NIC device configuration for this device.
Thanks to Syar for Solution

Hey sideeffect,
Thanks for links. I wanted to know if you knew anything about the my new RAM and the advanced timing settings for it. It's Corsair Twin2048-3500LLPRO that uses Infneon -5 64M X 8 Rev B chips. I have trouble getting it to overclock as I see everyone else doing. Would you be able to make a BIOS that has more of the memory timing options?

Read/Write Queue Bypass
Idle Cycle Limit
DQS Skew Control

And any others that you can.

Do you have any info on how to use the BIOS editing software you posted on you site?

Thanks for you time.

You only neeed -5V (usually white cable in ATX plug) to actually see the V value on a display.
The Booster WORKS without -5V but you cannot see how much volts it's feeding. However, if you use a multimeter to measure it you can live without -5V rail.
