Hi.
I'm having a MSI K8T Neo2-FIR at home (VIA chipset).
I found hardware problems, but they are USB only: the USB mouse doesn't always work after the power is switched on (but no probs if connect via PS/2 adapter) and the internal 10-in-1 USB card reader has problems either (reading SD cards and with the Mic connector).
At the moment I think this the USB problem is introduced by a to weak power supply. Using a 400 Watt power supply and still not enough. :(
No problems with anything else. But as I said before: its my personal PC at home and I dont let it run 24/7. :)

I have a similar board, Neo2-FISR, Via chipset. I run mine at home and it does run 24/7, cable modem, never gets turned off unless I am doing some hardware work. No problems at all, though I have just started using 64-bit. I am interested in the USB problems as I also have some issues there: VMWare guest refuses to recognize USB port with Palm. Sees others, just not that one, not even with with little cajoling I am capable of. I have Enermax 431W PS. Could that be a problem? Not enough? How would I figure this out? I have seen some messages during booting process about "...over current charge..." on USB port 5. Actual messages follow: <3>hub 5-0:1.0: over-current change on port 5 <3>hub 5-0:1.0: over-current change on port 6 <3>hub 5-0:1.0: over-current change on port 7 <3>hub 5-0:1.0: over-current change on port 8 Is this saying my PS is weak? I always assumed PS was ok, but did not understand these messages. I queried the suse-linux-e list once or twice about these messages, but got nary a bite. While my googling skills leave much to be desired, I found nothing relevant there either. I have also had issues with USB not recognizing printer when hotplugged but I have a work-around, suggested by above list, and while a nuisance, it does work. Any thoughts? Thanks for considering, Richard
