About this tag
The MSI K8T Neo 2 is an older Socket 754 motherboard that may be encountered when bench testing or repairing legacy systems. In one reported case, the board powers on and displays a CMOS checksum error but shuts down after a few seconds, requiring a full power cycle before it can be restarted. This behavior suggests a possible hardware fault, such as a failing capacitor or voltage regulator, rather than a simple BIOS setting issue.
