Top 20 MSI K8N Neo3 Motherboard Questions & Answers

Yes, you just need to install it into the white Pci-E slot. It should work fine.

I don't know your experience level so if I'm to basic please don't take offense and if I not basic enough don't hesitate to ask for clarification. I've split this up into 3 parts; hardware, software and security.
First you should quit unplugging your computer to shut it off. If you don't have hardware problems already unplugging you computer while it's running is a good way to cause them.
Other than a physical problem with the CPU or motherboard you seem to have ruled out almost everything. If you haven't tried it yet try holding down your power button until the power supply shuts down (usually 10-30 seconds). If this doesn't work given what you've already tried you probably have a damaged CPU or motherboard or an incompatable power supply (any ATX supply should shut down).
If this does shut down your system your problem is more likely software related. There are several possibilities (all can cause the system to not turn off);
1) corrupted system files
2) corrupted system settings
3) malware (spyware, viruses, data miners, ect...)
4) hacked system (there are numerous possibilities here)
a) to get an idea if you've been hacked open system info in control panel, if your RAM is showing considerably less than what you have installed that's a strong sign you've been hacked.

I would recommend doing a new install of Windows, not a reinstall. Your problem could be corrupt settings and Windows may import your old setting with a reinstall. If you have a spare hard drive I'd do the install on it, this will allow you to save your data while you determine for certain if the problem is hardware or software related. If this doesn't solve your problem then your problem is (again) most likely hardware. If you determine it's hardware, you need either spare parts or expensive testers to determine your exact problem.
If a new install on another drive solves your problems you need to consider items 3 and 4 above. A new O.S. install should solve the problem for now but you need to consider your security options. You'll need a firewall, anti-virus and anti-spyware. You should also set the password on your CMOS/BIOS. If you can use accounts with your version of Windows set up a (supervisor) maintenance account and a (limited) user account. Use passwords on these accounts, use the user account unless your actually doing system maintenance that requires superviser access, this will help limit the ability for others to make changes to your system.
Your passwords for your CMOS/BIOS and supervisors should be strong, at least 14 characters with upper and lower case letters and numbers if your system will allow it included special characters. Write these down and store them in a safe place, the only persons you should tell your passwords should be "me, myself and I".

Better to get a new power supply - they are only about $40

Try testing the memory modules 1 at a time to check for faults. Bluescreens are commonly caused by bad memory especially with XP.

You might need to install the sound driver. If its not apart of the motherboard, i.e. actually a seperate sound card plugged into a PCI or PCI-e slot you will have to go to the sound card manufactureres website and look for the model and then you will find the driver there.

If not Download belarc advisor from the link below. That will give you the manufacturer and motherboard model. Once you have that go to the manufacturers website and find your motherboard model. It will probably be in the support or downloads area. Once you find it all the motherboard drivers should be there

How long do you wait before you determine it is locked up? Vista uses minimum graphics to facilitate a faster install. It may seem like nothing is going on when Vista is loading in the background. If it is locking up try a reinstall. Are you upgrading or going a new install?

Replace the memory, as this can give you a fault on it's own if not fitted. Reset the cmos by shorting the CLRCMOS jumper or the JBAT1 terminal on pins 2-3, then back to pins 1-2 on the mobo, and try again. If you can get in the cmos and set the time and date etc, yet you still get the beep there could be a processor problem, but if it freezes in the cmos set up then you will have bios chip fault, so take back the whole kit to your supplier, as he may wish to try it himself first before replacing.

To get the MSI N082 graphics driver: 1. Find your graphics card model. Note down the model number. 2. Go to MSI's website. 3. Look for the support or downloads tab and click on it. 4. Use the search or menu options to find drivers for your specific graphics card model. 5. Download the driver package. 6. Run the installer file once the download is complete.

If adjusting the screen resolution didn't resolve the issue and you've already updated the VGA driver, try manually adjusting the display settings through your computer's control panel or display settings menu. Look for options like overscan or scaling to ensure the screen fits properly. If the issue persists, it could be a hardware problem or compatibility issue with your monitor. Consider reaching out to MSI support for further assistance.

Press the "Delete" key several times, as the computer displays the POST screen to enter the BIOS area. The POST is the "Power On Self Test" that the computer performs to check the hard drive, memory and processor on your computer. If your computer displays an MSI logo screen instead of the POST screen, press the "Tab" key to display the POST screen, and then tap the "Delete" key a few times.

Mac doesn't use drivers like PC does. USB means Universal Serial Bus and should work without any drivers.
