As long as you still don't have any hardware problems I don't see any reason for any driver conflicts. But different BIOS version, or your new Video card could cause some minor driver conflicts. Easy to fix thou, just uninstall the drivers and reinstall the ones causing issues. But 95% I don't think you should have any issues. Also did you take off your previous post of system specs I was trying to see which Video card you had before.Ghostface Killah said:Quick question
New motherboard (same kind)
New video card (New kind, 6800GT. Still Nvidia)
Same Processer
Different Power Supply
Same ram etc.
Same hard drive with the old drivers from my old non rma'ed part computer
Will everything be fine when I boot up. No driver conflicts correct?

Since you have NVIDIA drivers for 6600gt, your system should recognize 6800gt on its first post into windows. But I would uninstall the NVIDIA Graphics drivers and reinstall again for proper installation.Ghostface Killah said:Thanks
Old video card was a 6600gt. new one is 6800gt

You can roll back to older bios's by using the Award WinFlash utility from within windows.
Just follow the instructions - http://www.ecsusa.com/downloads/winFlash.html
You'll find the utility in the Live Update folder (If Installed) under Program Files, MSI, Live Update, ..........
Personally I'd only use Bios 3.0 (Rock Solid), Bios 3.1 (Still Prefer 3.0), or 3.6 (I'm using it now and it seems O.K)
Also have a read here if you haven't already - http://riscmaster.cybertechniquesin...I_K8N_NEO4.html
Good Luck!
Go with BIOS 3.0, and you should be able to clock past not just 210 but insane speeds. I had the same problem with my Venice 3000+ but with BIOS 3.0 I can boot into Windows with 297MHz FSB @ 2677MHz. For complete details about how I achieved my overclocking results, Bios download, FAQ common issues visit my Dedicated MSI K8N NEO4 PLATINUM/SLI WEBSITE. http://riscmaster.cybertechniquesinc.com/MSI_K8N_NEO4.htmlvapo-CHILL said:ok thanks for the info will try soon.
1 more thing and this has been happening from new cant clock past 210mhz in bios and boot sucessfully have tried all htt settings and lower cpu ratios also reducing memory frequency.
With BIOS 3.3 my MOBO did not boot with all 4 slots populated, so I am using only 2 slots right now with KINGSTON HyperX DDR500 PC4000. This mobo has lot of issues but still MSI K8N NEO4 PLATINUM/SLI is one of the best Motherboard in its class period. Hopefully you did not order Winchester Core CPU.Roliath said:I'm getting this board in a couple of days(THE SLI version) and I have a few questions.
Does this board have a problem with all 4 dimms populated? They are all the same (Corsair XMS Pro), I only ask because a couple of review sites had boot issues with all 4 dimms populated.
And when overclocking are all the sata ports locked? I had the MSI neo2 Plat. and it would not lock Sata 1, and 2. And with the Neo2, to lock the AGP port you had to put it at 67mhz. I know the Neo4 is different than the Neo2, but I just wanted to clarify these things before I go overclock. Any other issues I should be I be aware of ?
And sorry if these questions have been asked before, but I don't have the time to read through 60+ pages in this thread.
Thanks for the heads up. I was going to boot everything up with my 1gig of Corsair XMS Pro (TCCD), and get everything installed and running. I just bought a 3700+ San Deigo fromRISCmaster said:With BIOS 3.3 my MOBO did not boot with all 4 slots populated, so I am using only 2 slots right now with KINGSTON HyperX DDR500 PC4000.

I understand you don't want to go through this whole thread, that's exactly why I made a Dedicated MSI K8N NEO4 PLATINUM/SLI website. If you still have any questions post it on this forum and I will be glad to help you.
