I'm using arctic silver 5, but i guess used it the wrong way as i did not remove the original compound that came witht eh stock cooler of the a64. i get idle 42 celsius and hot 48 (running Prime95) but my case is open. If I close it, temps get some 7 celsius more. will try removing the compound...

Finally solved my problem by switching 2nd hard drive to SATA 3 instead of SATA 2 and enabling SATA DMA transfer in Bios. No more startup freezes and perfectly stable so far (has run Prime95 torture test for a full night without any errors).

It's important to try one device at a time. Just boot with 1 memory module, processor and video card. No cdrom / hard drive / sound card / modem / etc. Then add all the memories and try again. Then add hard drives. Then add cdrom. Leave the other boards for the end. I was having freezes at...

Hey Sunburn, Finally got this board working fine! It was not a hardware failure after all. I was having my 74Gb Raptor connected to SATA1 and the 300Gb Maxtor DiamondMax connected to SATA2 and i had both SATA1/2 and SATA2/3 DMA transfer disabled in BIOS (which is the default). After...

Finally got my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum working and stable. I would recommend this one as a top perfoming board but only if you are willing to spend a lot of time configuring it.

I bought the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (socket 939) for my Athlon 64 3500+, following the editor's choice from Anandtech. After one week of fine tuning with the configuration (Bios and driver updates, memory setup, etc) I finally got it working and stable (running Prime95 torture test for a full 24...

I received my MSI Neo2 Platinum along with a 300Gb SATA DiamondMax 10 and they don't seem to get along well. This drive is only recognized by the BIOS in a cold boot (need to turn off computer on the power button then turn on again). A warm boot (CTRL_ALT_DEL) will cause BIOS not to recognize HD...

Hi, my configuration is pretty much the same as yours, but since I bought it a week ago I can't make it work with any stability. Are you having any stability problems with your configuration? Basically I'm having 2 problems - Computer hangs on POST. Odly enough the problem only happens on...
