MSI 875P and IDE 3

Hi
I will be powering up my newly built 875P system this Sunday and I would like some help in getting my hard drives connected/drivers installed before I do that please?
I do not have any S-ATA drives at present and I don't want to use RAID, but have two Maxtor ATA133 hard drives and I have the choice of using IDE 1 & IDE 2 which are ATA100 or, I could use IDE 3 which will support my ATA133 drives, though I don't think I would notice much difference if I used either port?
The installation will be a new one with a Windows XP install and, in order to get my computer to boot from the master drive, say on IDE 3, what settings, in what parts of the BIOS should I change/enable/disable before starting the installation?
I am also right in thinking that, after I have made the changes in the BIOS and the XP setup begins, I need to press F6 to install the drivers but as I don't want to use RAID and I have no S-ATA drives right now, what do I need to choose after inserting the motherboard floppy?

Hey,
Well to answer your dilemma, it can be done but might require some trickery. I did some experiments and right now I am running 2 WD2000JB drives on it in RAID-0, but by reading other posts I was able to do the following as a test.
Two Seagate Barracuda IV ATA-100 7200RPM 80GB Drives were used.
I don't know if you can do both at once, but I did one at a time and it worked for me. But I did this with the old 1.5 bios. I don't know if you can with the 1.74b or others but I think you might because I don't think the flashes change the bios version on the actual promise 378 controller.
I put one drive on IDE as cable select. Went into the BIOS and set PROMISE Onboard to AS RAID. Now I save and exit and hit CTRL-F when the Fasttrak Bios tries to load. I choose create array within the Promise BIOS but only choose 1 drive. Then save and exit. Then repeat with the second drive also as cable select. It should allow you to do what you are trying. In fact others who have done the same have reported that it gives a boost in drive transfer rate. like changing from standard IDE on an old 40 conductor cable in DMA mode, and then plugging a promise card with an 80 conductors and going UDMA.
If you get the error where it will not let you select only one drive, you may need to set the drive jumpers differently.
Good Luck! Hope this helps,

Hi,
I have try my new Ocz Gold VX PC4000 on my Msi 875p FISR. On bios in right that say 2.5v to 3.3v but I can't go over 3.0v. I have try it on another Msi 875p FISR but same thing.
Anyone have an idea?
Thank you.

My memory can handle without trouble and invalidating warranty 3.5v. I can't put my memory at 2-2-2-8 because need 3.3v. I have bought this motherboard because she is the only can support 3.3v without use OCZ DDR Memory booster.

Probems with msi 875p neo Fis2r and network controller driver

Hi guys just wondering if anyone could help me with my msi 875p neo FIS2R and problems with the network controller driver/network card.
I'm running xp on a computer my nextdoor neighbour gave me. I got it working fine with service pack 3 installed but then installed a bunch of windows updates last night and the computer would switch itself off before windows could start. Now I reinstalled xp and unfortunately it does not recognise the network controller/card at all now. I tried installing the intel network controller drivers but it stopped because it said no intel adapter/card was installed/present. Could anyone please help with suggestions? I tried running everest and under newtwork it doesnt list intel network adapters but I'm pretty certain it is. Again any suggestions?

Clear CMOS with your PSU unplugged from A/C power. Then load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS and retest.
thanks jimi... jack
will try that and post later if it worked... ive never cleared cmos, this sort of thing is relatively new to me but thanks again

MSI 875P Neo and Bios Version 1.6

I have an MSI 875P LSR Board. It works fine but the system temperature is always running at 50-60 degrees C.
I am running bios version 1.2 and I was wondering if it is worth while to upgrade to version 1.6 as my system is stable. I dont feel really comfortable flashing the bios I am running Windows XP with NTFS partition.

Maesus-how much lower do you feel the "real" temperature is? Would perhaps 10C be a fair estimate? I'm still waiting for my friend to dig out his thermal probe so that I can get an accurate reading. I too am still using bios 1.2(rock stable with excellent game play)but am considering a bios upgrade if I purchase faster memory which I'm not sure that version 1.2 would make full use of.

Problem with S-ATA optical drive(MSI 875P Neo)

Ahoy MSIers,
I am in a most dire situation, and before I go to spend money on some computer-tech guy to solve my problem, I thought maybe you could help me.
*My PC specs:
Intel Pentium 4 Northwood C 2800Mhz
MSI 875P Neo
A-DATA 512Mb RAM DDR 400 * 2(1024)
PowerColor Radeon 9800Pro
Western Digital Hard Drive 80Gb 8Mb buffer P-ATA
Pioneer DVR-212D S-ATA (The main issue here)
Bios - AMIBIOS - VERSION 3.31a
Windows XP Pro - SP2
Until 2 days ago I owned an MSI CD(P-ATA) burner which was virtually dead.
2 days ago, It died completely, So I decided that I will not just replace a CD burner for a CD burner... no! I will buy myself a new shiny DVD burner!
So I bought myself a Pioneer DVR-212D(S-ATA) and I went on with installing it.
I plugged the Serial Power Cable from the PSU to the drive, and connected the drive and the S-ATA port on my M-Board with a serial-ata cable.
I booted up, and found that the device was nowhere to be found although power is being transferred to it(the drive opens and closes when pressing it's eject button).
I searched the net and found that I was supposed to "enable" S-ATA in my BIOS.
Tried that, yet every setting I tried besides the default setting gives makes the computer freeze for a few minutes at the MSI logo and then a "friendly" error massage appears, usually it's something like
"4th master drive ATAPI incompatible" ( the number changes, I haven't got a clue why).
Searched the net a bit more and found almost nothing... most s-ata "problems" were about booting from a s-ata hard drive....
I am getting desperate, So in order to maximize the chances of me getting help solving this issue, I took a few pictures of the BIOS and the inside of my case... maybe it will help, I dunno.
Here are some pics:
The S-ATA cable connected to the Mother-Board
Back of the DVD burner with the S-ATA cable attached
BIOS - standard CMOS features
BIOS - Integrated Peripherals
On-Chip IDE configuration
P.S
I have a DVD ROM(Toshiba, nothing special) and I would of course occasionally like to burn Dvds/Cd's from my DVD ROM to my DVD burner. However, seeing as the DVD burner is S-ATA, there is no physical connection what so ever between the two drives(unlike in P-ATA connection where each cable has 3 "connections", 2 for drives(hard or optical) and one for the Motherboard) I really don't know how I can "achieve" this.

A friend of my father's, whose occupation is a computer technician toke a look at the PC and bios settings today.
WE tried EVERYTHING and It still wouldn't work so we concluded that the problem is probably in the hardware.
There were two possible "suspects" here - The Mother Board(specificially the S-ATA controller/ports on it) or the drive itself.
We connected the drive to my sister's computer and it worked like a charm.
So the answer was clear - something was wrong with the board.
I replaced my S-ATA drive for an IDE drive, and all is well.
Well
that's the end of that story

MSI-875P-FIS2R

"BUMP"
Hi
WOW! I have just purchased the MSI 875P Neo and after reading through the many, many problem posts regarding this motherboard on this board, I'm beginning to wonder if I've made the right choice? Just read one from 'ferres' saying that he may have got an 875P from an earlier batch and this might be causing his problems. How can we tell if I have a recent build of the board?
I'm just getting my related hardware together (i.e. hard drives, cd-rom, display cards etc) so I have not set up the mobo yet but I would like some help with installing the drives using PATA and, or SATA.
Ok, having read the manuals and seen, apart from the normal dual ultra DMA 66/100 controllers integrated in the Intel ICH6/ICH5R chipset (IDE 1 & 2), there are also two integrated SATA/SATA RAID 150 ports (SER1 & SER2) in this chipset.
Also, the board has the Promise 20378 onboard controller with IDE 3 for connection two hard drives at up to modes UDMA 133. It also has two SATA/SATA RAID connectors (SER3 & SER4).
Now, I don't want to have any RAID Disk Arrays at this point because if I can get 133MB/Sec or 150MB/Sec without RAID (not on IDE 1 & 2 of course), then I simply want to connect my ATA133 Maxtor hard drives normally on IDE 1 & 2 @ UDMA 100, or on SER1 & SER2, or with the "As S-ATA" enabled for the Promise 20378 in the BIOS, connected to IDE 3 as Master & Slave, which will give me ATA133.
There is also the fourth option of using SER3 & SER4 on the Promise controller.
The problem is that my Maxtor drives are not SATA drivers and I know that you can get SERIAL conversion kits that will allow me to use my drives as SATA drives and achieve 150MB/Sec but I have not found out where I can purchase them so (if anyone has a link in the UK I would be grateful),I would be happy with 133MB/Sec for the moment.
Q: Given this information, can anyone who has already configured their 875P successfully using any of the options given above, I would appreciate details of exactly how it was done. I.e. What connections did you use and which is best:
IDE 1 (For hard drives set to Master & Slave @ ATA100)
IDE 2 (For CD-RW/DVD Drives)
SER1 & SER2 (With Serial conversion kit - not sure about ATA 133 drive jumper settings when using PATA drives on SATA ports)
IDE 3 (Master & Slave)
SER3 & SER4 (Again with Serial converstion kit)
Q: Also, given the above options and with regards to SATA/PATA, what BIOS settings did you enable/disable for best perfomance?
Q: I intend to have my CD-RW/DVD drives on IDE 2 so, if using anything other that IDE 1 for my hard drives, does IDE 1 have to have any devices on it for the system to work correctly or can it be disabled (bearing in mind the boot sequence).
At present, I have WinXP Per installed as Master on IDE 1 in another computer and also have a Maxtor 80GB ATA133 as slave on IDE 1, so I will need to transfer the drives to my newly built pc once I have enough information and I would assume that, after first enabling the appropriate options with regard to SATA/Promise 20378 and others, it's best to boot to the CD and fresh install the O/S ?
One last question regarding the USB ports, the manual states that we can have total of 8 with 6 at the rear of the box and two at the front, or 4 at the rear and 4 at the front. Well there are already 6 on the back I/O plate (4 at the top under the mouse/keyboard and two next to the LAN at the bottom)- how can we only have four at the rear when there are already 6 there? My case also has two at the front and I also have D-Bracket 2 Connector which when connected to JLED1 and JUSB2 gives another 2 USB ports and when I connect the cabling from my front case USB ports to JUSB3, then I have another 2 USB ports making 10 in total?
I have many other questions regarding the 875P but I will wait for these answers before asking anymore.
Regards

During boot up it will say what bios version you have. If you got version 1.0 best to get 1.5 and up.
Serial ata should be in native mode, legacy mode will lose 1 of the ide ports.
Some of my previous issues may have been attributed to Win2k which seem to require SP 4 to run properly in hyper threading set ups.

MSI 875P with Linux

Hey guys i am trying to install linux on my computer, I am running an MSi 875 P Neo Fisr2. every single version if linux i install it freezes as soon as it has to detect usb, my problem is my mouse and keyboard are usb . I have switched to different Bios releases and even tried 1.74 Beta. Still same issue. Anyone can help ?

Posted by Pete M I have Redhat 9 on MSI 875P, very steep learning curve to start with but I now have Ethernet up and running along with onboard sound, next task is to sort out dual boot
Hey Pete, perhaps you can help me. I have tried several times to install RedHat 9 on my system. Every time it hangs up after a line which indicates it is searching for IDE0. I have only a SATA harddrive and was guessing linux was on an endless search for a IDE harddrive.
I see you have both SATA and PATA drives in your system. Did you install Linux on the PATA drive? If so, was that out of necessity, did you try to install on a SATA drive?

MSI 875P FISR2 not recognizing cd-rom discs

I'll start off with "everything was working" before I started sleeving my power supply (which I am now regretting). I am at work now, but will provide as much detail as I can. Any suggestions are welcome.
Anyway, after putting everything back together, I have some problems with my Lite-On DVD/CD-ROM and also my CDRW and floppy drives. After booting up and getting into XP Pro (w/service pack 1), the cd drives and floppy don't seem to recognize a disc when it has been put in. When you put something in one of these guys and drill into it via Explorer, I get the message "Please insert disc." BIOS recognized the drives and XP seems to see them (the icons show up in my computer). However I didn't check the device manager in XP. The strangest thing is that if I leave a cd in the drive and boot up, everything works fine. Auto-insert works and fires up the cd, and I can drill down into it's contents, etc. Everything seems normal.
Here is what I have tried so far:
- tried another IDE connection
- made sure all cables and power connection were seated tightly.
- tried just using one device hooked up a time (and set to master)
I am completely baffled by this and would appreciate any thoughts you might have. I ran outa time last night, but what I plan to do tonight is hook the drives up to my other computer and see if they work correctly there as well as hook another cd player up to the new machine and try it. I guess I can also try another IDE cable, but again, the cable seems to work fine if you boot the pc up with the cd in the player.
I think I have a spare power supply I can even try, but I just can't imagine that this is the problem (although it is the one thing that has been changed). I mean, everything is getting power....
Here is what I can remember about my system:
MSI 875P FISR2
Intel 2.8 P4 800mhz FSB
Kingston DDR400 (1 gig)
PixelView (NVIDIA 5900) grahpics card
Enermax EG365P-VE (350 watts)
Western Digital 120 gig SATA drive
Bios version 1.4
Lite-On DVD/CD-ROM
Dell CD-RW
XP Pro w/service pack 1

Hi strummer2k,
If your using the MSI round cables then they will be Ultra 133 straps but there are two types, the 40 pin ones which will limit it to DMA 33/66 and the 80 pin ones which will enable ULTRA 100/133. I'm surprised how many people arn't aware of that and I recently did a small contract for a Computer Hardware shop in the city and the guys there were suprised when I showed them the differnce, it can boost performance quite a bit. The other important thing is to go into device manager and select your IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers and select you Primary & Secondary IDE Channels and right click one of these at a time & select Properties/Advanced settings.
You will need to have the correect straps for the following to work:
You will see a setting which says PIO Only or DMA if available - select DMA if available, do the same with the other channel and reboot and you will be running Ultra DMA for your drives. If you have an older CD Rom that doesn't support Ultra DMA & is on the same channel as another drive then it will only run at PIO on that channel. Im using W2K and I'm guessing that XP is still using the same functions?
This is going to make your hard drives run a lot faster as well as they will be using one of the channels, most likely Primary.
Some
bios's have settings that can enable/disable this as well

875P and LiveUpdate/Monitor

Hello,
I have an MSI 875P (as listed below).
Whenever I run LiveUpdate (or LiveMonitor) the system freezes/locks up, requiring a restart. This has been occuring for some time now and still occurs with the new version, 3.7.7.
The freeze occurs when 'search for mainboard driver version' starts.
I get the same lock up when I try to run PC Mark, 3D Mark and Speedfan.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Steve

Yes, no virus nor spyware (Norton Antivirus, Windows Defender Beta 2, Spyware Doctor, Ad-Aware).
The RAM upgrade is recent (previously 2 x 512mb Kingston), same problem with previous RAM installed. And yes, have tested new RAM with memtest.
Not overheating - temperature well below limits and freeze happens at startup.
Also, CoreCentre causes the same lockup/freeze.
Thanks for the suggestions, keep 'em coming.

MSI Drivers and Utilities DVD won't work

Hello, I've just purchased the parts to construct an entirely new computer, and I've chosen MSI Z77A-G41 motherboard. I put everything together, and I loaded Win XP on, and my plan is to upgrade to Win 8 during their special offer. I needed to go into Setup and change the SATA mode from AHCI to IDE, so that I could install XP. Once I had XP up and running, I inserted the MSI Drivers and Utilities DVD to load all of the drivers. However, when I put the disc in, it auto-runs, the driver/utility screen is shown 'blacked out' and I immediately receive a Windows error message: "DVD Setup Application" error. I went in through Windows Explorer to the programs on the DVD, and found DVD setup. By trying to run this from within Explorer, it takes me to the same error as when I auto-run.
The only thing I can think of is that I need to change something else in Setup, to run Win XP because it's so old? I'm pretty sure that there's nothing wrong with the new DVD burner, because I've used it to install XP, and also to extract and install Service Pack 2 and 3 (which I downloaded on another computer and transferred on a CD). If I knew exactly what needed to be installed from the MSI DVD, I could try doing it from within Windows Explorer. But, I'd still like to figure out what the Setup Application error message is telling me.
Any helpful suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!

A further note before I head off to bed. I was able to install Win XP service packs 2 and 3 using my new burner, and I've activated with Microsoft and downloaded and installed 117 updates. I have now used this same DVD burner that won't recognize or work with the MSI driver/utilities DVD, to install all of the drivers for my video card---that DVD auto-ran just fine. So, after doing some searches on Google about the "DVD Setup Application" error, not a lot of help but most people say that if another DVD will spin up and load things OK---it must be the fault of the DVD that won't load. In other words, I don't think that there's a problem with anything in the Setup on the motherboard.
So, if anyone has any further ideas, please let me know. Otherwise, I'm going to contact MSI tomorrow and see about a replacement DVD. Thanks.

I have tried a 7800GS (XFX) and a 7600GT and both of them will not work, in anaolg or digital mode. The mb will POST as normal, the screen will go blank as it normally does prior to the Sp splash screen coming up I'll get a no signal msg then my flat screen goes into sleep mode.

Can you still boot with the 6800? If so, download the program called DriverCleaner Pro and install it--go into control panel and uninstall the graphics driver, reboot into safe mode and run DriverCleaner Pro to get rid of leftover nvidia junk, open Device manager and right click on the 6800 listed and click uninstall. Shut down your machine, remove the 6800, install the 7XXX card, boot-up, hit cancel if you get the chance so windows doesn't install drivers and uses the standard VGA drivers. If you are now into windows, install the drivers off your installation CD or, download the 84.21 drivers from nVidia and use them.

Overclocking an MSI 875P Neo-LSR Bios 2.2

Here is my configuration :
CPU : Intel Pentium IV 3.2C 800Mhz HT
RAM : 1Gb [2x256MB DDR-400 PC3200 Infineon] + [2x256MB DDR-400 PC3200 Kingston]
GC : Club 3D Radeon 9700
MB : MSI 875P Neo-LSR Bios 2.2
HDD : 120 Gb Maxtor 8Mb cache + 40 Gb Western Digital 2 Mb cache
CPU Fan : Zalman CNPS-7000AlCu
Yesterday i tried to use CoreCenter and went to 215MHz (3.6 Ghz i think) with no hitch.
Now my question is with this configuration what can i reach and what to use (CoreCenter or Bios) ?
And which OC for the memory ??
Tx

I think use bios is better because of more flexibility. You can go up to about 3.5GHz.
