Will an Intel E7400 processor work with an MSI P965 Neo F V2?

The processor has nothing to do with your sound drivers. What you need are the integrated audio drivers for your computer's motherboard. Realtech make drivers for many different brand motherboards. Go to the computer manufacturer's website and download the audio drivers for your make & model computer. They also may be on a CD that came with your computer if it is older, although many companies don't do that any more.

can you please add detail of your question and resubmit

Hi.

The audio controller on that motherboard is manufactured by Realtek.

Click on the link that I have provided below which will take you to MSI's support website, choose your operating system (XP, Vista or Win 7) and then download the audio drivers for the motherboard. I also suggest that you download all the drivers for the motherboard and save them to a flash drive or CD just in case you have to reinstall the operating system again.

Tell the guy at the shop to invest in a universal driver disk as that will no doubt solve many of his driver problems.

This is the BIOS that you must install to use that CPU

probleme with your processor ! i think !! i have the same prob with core 2 duo E7400 ! but with pentiem 4 3Ghz it's work great :)

First of all test the power source on its own. Good? Take out the board of the case and keep on it just the video card and try to boot into the BIOS. No good? Try to boot using another video card, then another memory sticks and finally another processor. If none of them had an effect then the motherboard is dead, replace it.

Yes i think....
Your motherboard supports cpu core2duo up to 1066mhz fsb.
E7400 got 1066mhz.
Maybe you have to update your bios version.

Hi,
Once you have loaded your main board drivers,configuration should be pretty much automatic.Personnally,I have my dvd drive on the standard IDE ribbon cable header,and 2 SATA HDD.One on each SATA header.After loading The mainboard Drivers,Windows did the rest.I haven't found any need to mess around with any BIOS settings at all.
I currently am using a Biostar P4M900 board,but I have dealt with MSI before,and they are pretty much the same deal.

Your motherboard MSI 945pl-neo support Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 1.8 Volt DDRII SDRAM.( Supports up to 2GB memory size.
• Supports dual channel DDR2 memory architecture.
• Supports DDR2 533/400 memory interface.)

and Supports Socket 775 for Intel® P4 5XX, 6XX, P4EE, Pentium D 8XX and Celeron D processors.• Intel® 945PL/ ICH7 Chipset

Please check the drives are "Jumpered" correctly, with the First Drive set as "Master" & second drive set as "Slave". Here is a link to help.... http://www.tcs.org/refurb/repairs/07_new_hd.htm
