4.0 BIOS for 845PE Max

I have this motherboard 845PE Max (MS-6580 Ver.:2.0).
And i have some question about BIOS v4.0. Here is written: Update Description: Support CPU with HT function. Does it mean that this MB now support Prescott CPU? I know that in Cpu support is written that no, but it is with old BIOS version (A6580IMS.380). I think that CPU with another core (Northwood) doesnt support hyper-threading... I think that HT is supported only by Prescotts.

I believe bios HT support for your board, means HT support for 3,06/533mhz Northwood.
It´s the only Northwood/533mhz with HT ( why this support is coming so late I don´t know )
Your board has no support for Prescott 533/800mhz or CeleronD Cpu´s.
Probably it´s not enough with just a bios update, since it´s more too it regarding motherboard construction/powermanagement.
You need a new board if you want a 800mhz cpu or a prescott 533/800mhz cpu.

  • 845PE Max-L problem with pci cards

    Got a weird issue with the 845PE Max-L and was wondering if anyone else has come across this. I work in the RMA dept of a nationwide computer wholesaler and recently we've come across atleast 4 of these boards with the same problem. under windows xp it will not detect any pci cards. tried various sticks of ram, video cards, network cards, modems, usb cards, hard drives, pretty much anything we can think of to check for incompatiblities. did the latest bios flash, installed the newest updates in windows xp, but still cant get these boards to detect any pci cards whatsoever. yes we tried different power supplies and yes we tested the pci cards in other systems to make sure none of it was defective, all passed with flying colors. now here's the kicker, under windows 2000 it DID detect the pci cards, however i was unable to successfully load any drivers to any of the devices. We've made a call to our MSI rep to find out if anyone else has run into this or are we just dealing with a bad batch. unfortunatly noone from MSI has contacted us back yet so i decided to try and post here to see if anyone else has come across this odd situation. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

    Weaksauce;
    Two replies two separate motherboards.  In reference to the 865 / 875 motherboards not recognizing PCI cards I think your link has something to offer.   :biggthumbsup:I'm not going to go back and test it but the reason the PCI cards were not recognized may very well be that the old bios did not properly inspire the intel inf utility to install the correct drivers.  The force method you suggest may well overcome that particular problem.  I would still suggest that merely doing the BIOS upgrade first is the more elegant approach.
    Regarding the usb problem with MS update, the inf chipset article would appear to have little to offer.  The 845 MB uses the Intel 845 chipset which is ICH4 by the way.  The updated inf utility was installed in as early in the process as possible.

  • MSI 845PE Max Lan - MS-6580 Ver.2.0 boot failure

    I recently purchased this mainboard and components. All's working fine except for 1 strange issue:
    On each 1st boot-up (after I powered down) the harddisk (UDMA 100, 80GB Western Digital) is not detected. This results in a boot failure.
    After this 1st failure I reset and from then on booting is OK, harrdisk is succesfully detected (although it always takes about 10-15 seconds before detecting).
    Anyone else experiencing the same problems?
    This is my config:
    - MSI 845PE Max Lan
    - 2,4GHz P4
    - Western Digital 80GB 7200rpm (set as master, only device on its cable)
    - ATI Radeon 9700
    - 512 MB DDR (pc2700)
    Hope anyone can help out.

    Note: FSB533 CPU is required in order to choose DDR333 selection in the BIOS setup
    thats what is says here

  • Custom BIOS for GE60 2oc

    Hello!
    I would like to request a custom bios for my laptop (MSI GE-60 2oc).
    I have had problems with low CPU utilization after updating the embedded controller with official MSI firmware update. At the same time I was supposed to update the BIOS, but I couldn't, using the official driver found on MSI download center, since my system told me it's not the right version.
    I wanted to try this new approach as a new bios might help, I figured. I can't find any downgrading for the embedded controller. Would a custom bios be good thing for me or am I doing this all wrong?
    Current bios: E16GCIMS.509
    EC firmware installed: 16GCEMS1.506
    The BIOS update that did not work: E16GCIMS.611

    I know got my current version of BIOS and EC by MSI support so I will experiment with them. Downgrading to EC v. 5.00 helped I think. I have started to meassure now and the thing is that my GPU seems to have a real low core clock. The GT750m is marketed as 967 mhz but GPU shark and 3DMark 11 shows that I have 405 mhz. When playing Starcraft 2 I get real low FPS considering the settings (25 fps while playing medium quality and 1080p res.) hard to find comparing stats on the net. When meassuring with 3Dmark 11 I get a 2800 score which is comparable to other machines like mine.

  • 845PE Max won't detect X800 AIW

    I'm having an issue with my old 845PE Max mobo. I've had the Radeon X800 All-In-Wonder work before on this mobo, but after a recent format the card just won't budge! The mobo detected the card as a plug & play gfx card and everything went smooth, but after the recent format things didn't go as smooth.
    When I boot the computer with the Rad now, XP doesn't detect it as a plug & play card and the annoying vgasave is initiated. I've read and tried several fixes. Installed the newest INF update with the MSI Update Tool (which didn't do the trick), tried the INF update from Intel and finally booting XP by hitting F8 and running VGA Mode, none of which worked.
    What I don't get is why the card worked fine before the format, but not after?!
    Probably time for me to get out from under my rock and get a new rig, but I'm not willing to give up on this one quite yet. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Fischer
    PS: Before you ask, I've got SP2, Framework 2.0 and the whole nine yards in XP updates.

    Thanks for the input. I'll try, but if it doesn't work I'll just plug in a dated Nvidia card and pass the rig on. I'm crawling out under the rock and getting a new mobo+chip+ram+pci express gfx, and design a new rig. :D
    To reflect on this mobo: I've had this mobo since it came out, quite a few years ago, together with some cheap 512 sticks and a Intel P4 2.4 Ghz which I've been able to squeeze 3.1 Ghz out of with a later dual rad watercooling solution, and it's been running like this for years without a glitch. So, I think it's safe to say that I got more then my moneys worth. Salute!
    Thanks for the help, both of you.
    Regards,
    Fischer

  • 845pe max 2 and floppy drive probs

    I've got a 845pe max 2 fisr mobo
    My floppy drives' LED is continuously illuminated when I turn on.
    Windows 98se says it's an NEC floppy drive even though I didn't insert any drivers for it or anything. When I put a floppy disk in to it the drive can't read and a message in windows indicates that there is no disk inserted.
    The thing is the drive worked when I first set up my system but that is the one and only time. I suppose it's a positive thing that the LED works.
    Any ideas anyone?

    Don't worry, it won't hurt your motherboard.  It definitely sounds like that's the problem (floppy cabble upside down).  Simply spin it around, and it should fix your problem (the "key" as you put it is facing down on my floppy drive).  
    If that doesn't fix the problem, try using a different cable.

  • 845PE MAX-FIR Gigabit Lan Prob

    I just got 845PE MAX-FIR last week.
    But I have prob with Gigabit Lan controller. Windows(2k) detects it alright and says it works ok; however, it can't detect lan cable if I insert it.
    First, I thought it was prob with lan cable, so I installed old realtek lan card. And it works fine with old lan card.
    So I send the board for repair and got a new board. BUT! it still won't detect if the lan cable is inserted. What should I do? It's not prob with ethernet controller(since it looks working fine under windows(98 & 2000) and not the prob with lan cable. Does Gigabite lan uses different lan cable? I heard it's not...then what is the problem? HELP!

    I believe you require Catergory 6 Cabling, as we where studying this the other day in class :D

  • 845PE Max (6580 v.2.0) and Maxtor DiamondMax 9 Plus - Problem!

    Hi!
    My mobo (845PE Max - MS 6580 v.2.0) detecting my hard disk (Maxtor DiamondMax 9 Plus 80GB ATA133 7200rpm) as the drive working in UltraDMA/2 mode (ATA33). What is wrong? How can I set it to work in mode UltraDMA/5 (ATA100)???
    Please, help me as quick as possible.
    Best regards
    Martin "Kenickie"

    System: MS Windows XP Pro. No Service Pack 1 installed yet.
    But it doesn't matter.
    Disk is recognized as UDMA/2 by BIOS!!! I upgraded BIOS to newest (3.40) but it didn't help.
    This Maxtor is connected as Primary Master, and there is a CD-Recorder (TEAC CD-W516EB) on the same cable as Primary Slave. Teac is also recognized as UDMA/2. At the secondary Controller I have CD-ROM Drive (TEAC x32).

  • Problems installing windows2k pro on a 845PE max

    hi..
    i've recently bought 2 sets of msi 845pe max motherboards and started installing one of them. it was okie... then i started installing the other one but i can't seem to complete copying the files from the cd to the comp and will prompt me telling me that a file cannot be copied over. so windows cannot start up. i swopped components and it didn't work. so finally i tried swopping IDE cables and it worked perfectly..... so i've got a few spare IDE cables and used them and now my working system cannot work! is there a benchmark for IDE cables or wat seems to be the problem?

    Sometimes yes, often no, but it is unsupported officially so you'll have to live with it.

  • Big Problems w/ 845PE Max-L

    Installed today,
    P4 2.2
    M/B MSI 845PE Max-L
    G/F ti4600
    512. samsung PC2700
    Upon startup,
    I get power it seems to everything but, I have a blank screen and i hear 1 beep followed by 8 beeps. It wont go into bios or anything. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ed

    Ok...
    Unplug all the IDE cables and re-attach JUST the HD cable from the MB to the HD making sure the connectors are on securely and are lined up with the connectors at the back of the hard drive fully.
    If that boots to bios screen ok then shutdown again and re-attach JUST the floppy connector (again making sure it securely fitted to both MB and to the back of the floppy) then boot back to the bios screen again to check that its ok with the 2nd cable fitted, then shut down and re-attach the CD-ROM cable... again making 100% sure that all the IDE cables are attached correctly and securely both to the MB and to all components.
    Bootup again to BIOS and see if everything is as it should be... (HD, floppy and CDROM all detected properly now?)
    Now in the BIOS use auto-detect wherever needed to detect the size of the HD etc (im unfamiliar with your BIOS so the auto detect may not be required but try it anyway) save and exit the BIOS.
    Spend a little time attaching the cables to make sure they are ALL attached perfectly... it is very easy to miss align them if you are keen to get the PC up and running.

  • 845PE Max Problems :(

    Hi,
    I just installed the new 845PE Max 6580 motherboard.
    My system specs are
    3.06 ghz Pentium 4
    512 MB PC2100 DDR SDRAM
    Radeon 9700 pro with latest 3.1 catalyst drivers
    SoundBlaster Live 5.1
    DirectX 9.0
    Windows XP
    The problem is that the system randomly hangs without any bsod or any error. I cant hit the reset switch or power it off from the front. Only way to turn off the system is by switching off the button on the power supply at the back.
    Any kind directx application (game or benchmark) hangs, be it 8 or 9. I thought it was as a result of directx 9.0 but it hung on 8.0 as well.
    Random hangs also occur while playing any audio. Another thing is when i power up after the system after it crashed my logitech cordless mouse stops responding unless i swap the usb slot at the back.
    I've updated the bios as well as the usb 2.0 drivers off the website but still no luck.

    got the latest intel inf from MSI website. turned off hyperthreading as well in the BIOS.
    the power supply came with the case i bought a week back. brand new... http://shop.store.yahoo.com/svcompucycle/silverchenming.html
    still getting these random freezes. freezes on me while listening to music on winamp, running IE, watching any movie on windows media player and games based on the unreal and like engines. somehow games like nba, fifa work fine.
    also i made sure the radeon power supply not being shared by any device. the PCI slot below the radeon is empty as well.
    i bought the motherboard from newegg.com and the worst part is apparently i cant RMA it back!
    its driving me nuts. please there's gotta be a way to fix this. i'm sure some people are running the MSI 845PE with the radeon 9700 pro without any problems.
    god..its going to drive me nuts if i'm going to shell out $120+ more to buy a new motherboard if it comes down to this.

  • 845PE Max SPDIF AUDIO out problem

    Hi there,
    1. I've got 845PE Max MB; C1,7GHz; 256DDR; W98SE.
    I haven't got "S" bracket (I can't buy one), but I want to use digital SPDIF out.
    I connect CINCH socket to pin #3 of JSP1 [SPDIF out] connector. And I have sound output via it to my amplifier (I can hear proper sound (analog) from movies and windows sounds).
    The problem is, that when I open "Sound manager" from system tray & I see  "AC97 Audio Config" Window & I check SPEAKER CONFIG tab -> I can't see "ENABLE SPDIF OUTPUT" check box to choose digital output.
    Funny thing is, that some time ago I had digital sound (dolby digital) when I played some movie, but now I don't have it on the same movie.
    2. Neither I don't have MSI DVD application on CDROM attached to the MB. Can I download it from some place ? Maybe it can help to switch SPDIF on ?
    Looking forward for advice,
    Regards,
    M@rek

    Unfortunatley i threw out my pc-speakers when i moved last but i could lend a pair to test. But i dont think it would change since i did put in a SB live sound card and put the same cord in that to the surround system and it worked perfeclty first try...
    So my assumption here is that there is no error in the connection to the surround system but rather a error in the onboard ..if its a severd connection or a driver issue im cant tell.. but since i tested all driver as of 2 weeks ago i could possibly find. even went to c-medias homepage and downloaded thier latest drivers.. and no luck..
