645 Ultra (MS-6547) Really Strange Bios Problem

I have just upgraded my pc with a 645 Ultra (MS-6547) mainboard with 128Ram and a Celeron at 1,7GHz. I have a hdd with a Windows 98 on it. The first time I booted after the change, windows starts up, it starts to detect the devices and is asking me to restart. At restart I see the video Bios and after that the mainboard starts beeping from the speaker and the display is showing lots of pages with special caracters and it freezes after a minute or so!!!!
I tried to upgrade the bios but al i got is this message:
"Phoenix Bios
D686
Award Boot Block MS-6547
Chipset/Flash port isn't available. The function will be invalid."
The really freakiest thing is that with another mainboard (same model) the problem is the same.
At first I thinked that is a boot virus, but I scanned the hdd on another system using f-prot with the latest definitions available(30.01.2003) and is clean.
Any ideas what could be?
thanks.

First of all: every one of the two mainboards started fine at the first boot, it loaded windows, started to detect new hardware then it asked me to reboot. After that it was hell! The graphics bios apeared and after that is starting to show something like this " %#^@&$(!#^ " all over the screen, is filling pages with this caracthers and beeping from the speaker. the d-bracket is with the 3 and 4 leds on red and i can't do a thing. the bios flasher (from your site) is telling me:
"Award Boot Block MS-6547
Chipset/Flash port isn't available. The function will be invalid."
the next thing i did was to try the old components on another pc based on an old i810 board. every one of them worked fine (individually and together). then I use the third board to remake my sistem from scratch with only new components (the old ones I was afraid to use), i instaled win98 on another hdd with drivers for the mobo. Everything was fine. The other hdd i scanned it on another system (winXP) with NAV2003 using the 05/feb/2003 updates and is clean. Then i saved the docs on it, formated it and copied (using pqmagic8 ) the partition from the new hdd with the working win98 on it. Installed the hdd and is ok. The the floppy and is ok. And now I am afraid to put the video card on it!!! I have talked with the service support and they told me to wait until they e-mail me an update program, new bios and instructions to recover my two boards. but that was 2 days ago... and i still got 2 freaked mobos!!!!
I will try tomorrow to recover the bios using the instructions on your site, hope it will work.
I still don't have a clue what the hell happend and what is the cause of this!!!

Ms-645 ultra (MS-6547) CPU:RAM

Hullo,
I Just Finished building my new system. I am in the process of clocking it out. I used Fuzzy Logic 4 to find out at what speed my system crashes at. Fuzzy crashes any where between 139MHz & 143MHz system clock with CPU core voltage only slightly juiced to 1.5 volts.
This is probably not a good program for the actual overclocking from what I've read, but does serve as a good burn in utility. So I've decided on a 133MHz system clock in bios. Don't want to get too greedy right now as I am using stock H/S and fan. Next did a 5X burn in with Sandra and couldn't crash my system 49c idle 62c load. I must say this is a very nice mobo, extremely stable.
What I am having problems deciding on are my memory timings. This is my first MSI mother board and I'm not really familiar with the normal fast ultra and turbo settings.
Initially I set at the normal selection with CPU - RAM ratio at highest setting of 4:5 and CPU-Z gives me these memory numbers 166MHz & 2.5-3-3-7-11.
Next I tried the ultra setting and the highest ratio of 1:1 any other ratio causes system to lock up. CPU-z gives me these memory numbers 133MHz 2.5-2-2-6-9
It dosen't Appear that the Ultra timing mode offers any advantages over default memory timing settings. Are these words "Ultra" and "turbo" just marketing schemes meant to entice the common PC user, or are there some additional speed settings that go along with with the ultra and turbo modes that I am unaware of. Also after setting system clock to 133MHz My PCI & AGP are left untouched at 33MHz & 66MHz. I was expecting higher speeds. How are these independant? Where can I adjust these to clock along with the system clock. With those AGP & PCI numbers it behaves like a true 533MHz FSB system. I'm a little baffled with this new system. Any explainations would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not displeased, only a little puzzled. in fact i was counting on having to reduce the core & memory speed of my card just a little bit. to allow for a higher oc. Is this a 400/533 mobo manual says 400. Hmmm. I wonder what would happen if I put an 800 FSB cpu in here. bios system clock goes to 200. I happen to have one. this mat be interesting.

How to VCore mod my 645 ultra (MS-6547)

HI..
i got 645 ultra (MS-6547) and P4 1,80 @ 2,3GHz.. The problem is, that i can set VCore to max 1,6V, witch gives me.. 1,55V to 1,58V. I would like to set it higher..
HOW

Unless you really don’t care about frying your components, that procedure sounds like an impressively bad idea. I’ve also heard a rumor that there’s a “wire-wrap” way to unlock the multiplier on the P4s, but the same applies.

645 Ultra MS-6547 BIOS Flash problems!

Hi!
I've just tried to upgrade my BIOS from 1.7 to 1.9 for this board. I downloaded the version MSI Live Update 2 gave me - it created a boot and rescue disk.
Install of BIOS went well, was successful. After I rebooted my computer, I can't now see anything on the screen. It beeps at me 4 times, then searches the hard-disk and floppy-disk momentarily. It then beeps twice, then another beep comes up.
I can't seem to rescue the BIOS with CTRL-HOME either. Has anyone got any ideas? I followed the procedure to the letter!
Thanks,
Richard

Hi!
Problem solved. It was an issue with the computer not recognising the AGP card properly. As I have dual monitors, I left the PCI card in the machine and removed the AGP card. After configuring the BIOS, I was then able to reinsert the AGP card - everything works.
Thanks Assaf for your advice!

MSI P35 Neo2 (MS-7345) strange BIOS problem

Hi all,
My first post here - just wondering if someone could help me.
I recently 'accidentally' flashing my bios version from 1.8 to 1.C on my MS-7345 (P35 Neo 2) board, after deciding to install live update. While I know it's often considered a bad idea to flash the bios when everything's working, but I did it anyway. Since doing it I got many many BSODs. I'm running XP Pro 32 bit btw. I got these BSODs mostly when the computer was working hard, but not always. I'd barely be able to do anything sometimes. Occasionally Windows would even crash on start-up.
I made sure that i was running the latest drivers for all my components, peripherals, etc, including motherboard and graphics card. I even reformatted my HDD and reinstalled Windows from scratch just in case it was a virus. However, the problem has continued, and I even got a few BSODs during my reinstallation of Windows XP Pro.
Another thing I tried was reverting back to the old bios version (1.8), but this made no difference, so I eventually returned to the latest 1.C.
I've written down all the error message codes somewhere, though I've currently misplaced the sheet I wrote them on. If you need to know the exact codes I can locate it and add it to this thread. I probably got about 30 BSODs per day. Often they were IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL type ones, but definitely not just that. Each code I got I researched thoroughly to see if I could work out the problem. Some pointed to RAM Failure, some to HDD problems, some to bad Graphics card, some to corrupt drivers. Pretty much anything you can think of, the errors 'blamed'. However, I had a hunch regarding the bios / motherboard.
I eventually discovered (by chance) after re-flashing the bios (which I'm doing in DOS using the suggested AFUD after a reboot) that if I...
1. Switch on the computer
2. Enter BIOS Setup by pressing Del
3. Turn of the boot sector protection (in order to flash bios) and set USB stick to be the first boot device
4. Boot to DOS from my USB stick and flash the bios in DOS
5. Reboot
This is the critical bit...
6. When when I get the 'Bad checksum, Press F1 to enter BIOS setup or F2 to use default values' PRESS F2 (it won't work if you go into bios setup as this will then require another reboot before loading windows).
7. Let Windows XP load as normal.
If I follow all the above steps (I discovered this by mistake), the computer is 100% stable. I even tried some burnout tests and played some cpu & gpu intensive games with settings on full to give it a real workout, which previously would have ended up in a BSOD within seconds.
However....
If I then reboot the computer (or shut down and switch it back on the next day) and let windows load, it will be unstable again, just as before!
In other words, I'm currently having to flash the bios every time I switch on my PC or reboot it in order to get a stable system.
So this problem isn't fixed - but I've found a workaround at least for now.
Incidentally I've tried installing a new CR2032 bios battery, since I thought it might be losing settings on reboot, but this didn't make any difference.
I personally don't think it's actually the BIOS Reflashing that's making it work - just something weird in the bios settings. It's as if 'erasing the checksum' (cleaning out these dodgy bios settings), which forces the PC to load the defaults the next time it boots, is helping. I have to just mention that going into bios set-up and choosing 'Load Fail-Safe Defaults' does NOT help, since the computer reboots when you 'Save Settings and Exit'. It's as if the bios settings corrupt every time on boot, which causes the crashes.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

To return to the previous bios, just download the one you want and use the forums tool.
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P35-Neo2-FR---FIR.html#/?div=BIOS
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Before you do that, try to boot and enter bios. Hit f6 for optimized defaults save and exit see if the problem persists.

Strange bios problem

Well i tried to install the os on my raid 2*160Gb sata disk, with al my other ide drives connected, then i got the message hal.dll corrupted or missing at start, so i tried everything, and at last i tried going back to bios 1.3 on the msi k8n neo2 54g platium board and that fixed that problem, any other had that problem, and do any of you know how to fix it so i can use the 1.4 bios?

Well i look's like it wassent he 1.4 after all, i go the same file corrupt with the 1.3 and 1.4 now, and i think i know why.
It's becausei the times i did it with my other ide hdd's and sat disk on, i used to format my fist drive connected, the driver that windows set as c, and the one i install winxp pro on is g cause that my sata raid drive spillet in 2, one on 50gb and one on 250gb, anyway i format my c drive 2 and then i partioned it all over then so the winxp installation had to format it and when windows was installed i got that error, now i did format just left it as it was, and now the file corruption is gone

Really strange installation problem (stuck during phase 1)

I just bought a new macbook pro 15" (mid-2009) and I decided to put a larger hard drive in there, so I bought a Seagate 500GB SATA 2.5" drive. I replaced the drive, popped in my Snow Leopard DVD and booted from the disc. I erased and partitioned the hard drive as OS X Extended Journaled. I continued with the installation but when it starts to install the OS itself, it gets stuck.
I opened up the log and it it gets stuck at the part where it says it's retrieving package com.apple.MacOSX.packagename (it varies on the package and it's random). The first couple of times, it got stuck at some printer drivers, so I took it out with the custom install button and then it got stuck somewhere else. I left the installer running for 1 to 2 hours each time but it doesn't budge, the timer just freezes and never moves. The progress bar also just stays at the same location. The system responds to the mouse and I can reboot the system.
I tried to disable everything under the custom install and just installed the bare necessities but it still gets stuck, no matter what options I chose. The stock 250GB, with the preloaded snow leopard OS installed, works perfectly fine but this new 500GB just won't install. I also even tried another hard drive it also gets stuck. I tried googling and found out there was an issue with the SATA going 1.5Gbit and I tried to apply the 1.7 EFI update but the updater said it wasn't really needed.
The last thing I did was boot the stock hard drive that came pre installed with Snow Leopard and ran a mac update to get the latest firmware updates for the macbook but it didn't seem to help. It only found an update for the bluetooth but nothing else.
Does anyone know why it won't install? I've tried replacing the disc from the store but still doesn't help. Is there something wrong with this laptop?

Yes, the hard drive partition scheme is GUID. I've exchanged the hard drive already with a new one and still getting the same problem. I tried copying the Snow Leopard DVD onto a 16GB thumb drive, booted from it and went installing it that way. It took forever, so I left it overnight and it had an error eventually.
This is the first time I've had this problem before and I've installed Mac OS X as a fresh install before but never had a problem like this. Here is my log:

Really Strange Airport Problem...Can Anyone Help?

We have 3 Macs in the house and two Xboxes using Airport. Everything works fine.
Tonight, for some bizarre reason, two of the Macs lost their connection to the home Airport network. The Xbox still connects fine (and is the farthest away!), the Macs say they can't connect.
I've restarted the modem, and Airport, and the Macs. Still the same.
Is there any way this can be a Bellsouth problem (my carrier)...?
Thanks
Tom

I am having a similar problem as of late. I purchased my MacBook in November 2009 along with a Time Capsule. Never had a problem connecting wirelessly. But, over the past 60 days, my MB has been either losing it's connection to the TC or is connected to my wireless network but not seeing an IP address. I have two PC's that are connected wirelessly and have internet connection when my MB does not. I can, however, gain internet access via plugging into the ethernet port. I have checked and rechecked the settings and have all updates. In the beginning, all I had to do was to turn off the Airport on my MB and turn it back on. I would reconnect. Then, when that stopped working, I had to reboot my MB to reconnect. Now, I have to reboot my TC so my MB can reconnect. I get the feeling that the Airport on my MB is failing. Any suggestions?

645-Ultra Timing Settings (MS-6547)

I just finished building my new PC. I've been exploring and found in the bios timing setting modes. My mode is currently set to normal. When trying to advance the settings to fast, turbo, or ultra the PC won't boot or post until I clear CMOS.
Any idea why the faster settings won't work?
Also I have installed Fuzzy Logic 4. When trying to manipulate any of the overclock
settings, the system locks and I can't reboot until I unplug the system. Any idea why Fuzzy Logic freezes the sysem?
The system is stable and runs good wiyh no other known issues.

645 ultra - Dual Channel Memory?

Just Finished Building my system about 2 weeks ago. I was wondering if the MS-6547 is capable of running memory in dual channel mode?

Following great advice from initial poster to this thread , I've finally managed an overclock my 645 ULTRA, it's only taken me a year
Full system virus scan, and clean out.
Clean Boot,
Re-Set Ram CPU ratio down to give 266Mhz.
Turbo Ram Timing.
Ram Latency CL2
Ras/Cas Normal.
Al of which I was backing off, but rightn now seems to hold up
I was able to wind the FSB up to 118Mhz, clocking me at a mear 2.85 Gig (which for some reason is higher than 118*24)
the good thing here, is when the system did crash at 120, the bias did not re-set! which was happening in the past.
At 120 I got quite a lot of graphical artifacting, but my gcard was running hot since the air temp here is at about 25/26C with sumer approaching (don't help does it!)
Anyway, I'll be ticking off a few more tweaks tonight.
I did notice that this did NOT improve Aquamark, but added 1000 points to 3dMark2001, from taking it from 11500 to 12500. Benchmarks moving more from CPU/GPU to GPU only dependant. Codecreatures is a good bench also

MSI 645-Ultra problem

Hi, I have some problems with my computer.
Here is my configuration:
CPU: P4 1.6 ghz
Motherboard: MSI-6547 645 Ultra
Memory: 512 Mo DDR 266 mhz
video: MSI 8836 GeForces II GTSTi64
I build up this machine in January 2002 by myself and it work fine. But, this week my computer start to turn off automatically and reboot, after it reboot i can work on it for about 20 min. and then the same thing append. It even append to me when i was in the BIOS, so for sure its not a windows problem.
I have try another video card and i still have the same problem.
Any help would my appreciate, thanks.

I can install a cheap vid card and I have NO Problem! ATI sent me a replacement card and it does the same thing, "Black Screen Lock-up" or just reboots. If both ATI cards are doing the same thing, there must be some kind of incompatability between XP and the 7500 AIW (no problems with ATI card and Win 98SE).
ATI has washed their hands of any future responsibility, so I am apparently stuck with a $200 vid card that doesn't work with my system.
Tell more about your system, bertz.

In my computer I had a Network-adapter which coused a problem of self-reboot when i tried to shut-down.
I replaced it with an older one - problems gone !!!

645 Ultra Network Problems

I am having dreadful problems trying to establish a network connection in my new computer.
When I instered the card into my new motherboard it detected and applied the drivers with no problem. When I attached the ethernet cable I saw a light on both the switch and the card. Aside from that there is little working on the network side. The orange light on the lynksys is on to indicate a 100 based connection, but the activity light(Green) is also always on and will not blink for long periods. Every 5 minutes the both lights will blink off for a moment and come back on again and when it does my windows xp system will display that the connection is lost. I checked the packets and a small amount was sent but none are received. Also if I try to immediately go to internet explorer or my network connections as soon as I log in the windows involving those will freeze up until about 2 minutes later. Like the system is still trying to detect a connection.
Parts I am using:
MSI 645 Ultra Motherboard
Western Digital 40G Hard Drive
Generic Floppy Drive
Nvidia AGP TI/4400 Graphics Card
Linksys EtherFast 10/100 Lan Card
USB Microsoft Keyboard
USB Logitech Mouse
OS I am using:
Windows XP (without SP1)(Fresh format and install)
Also to note:
Video card and bios have been upgraded to thier latest versions.
Ethernet cable is 100 based and works fine in my other machines.
Ethernet Card also works fine in other machines.
I have no other PCI slots in the system.
The connection is from Machine to switch to router, but even connectiong directly to the router has no effect.
Moving to another PCI slot makes no difference.
Currently using Plug and Play but I tried assigning it a specific IRQ and made no difference.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
James Grummell

Sounds to me as you have faulty ethernet cable. You try a different one?

MSI 645 ultra xp / 2000 problem please help.

I've got 3 MSI 645 ultra mobos. I've tried every thing i can think off to get xp installed and working. I don't get as far as formating the hard disk in the setup. I relpaced the power supply with a qtec 550 watt power supply (the gold one). i've flashed the bios to 1.9, i've used different hardisks and cables. I've checked the memory PC2100 and 2700. It's a pentium 4 1.5, I've tried a 2g in it as well. I'm using an ATI radeon 7500 but have tried a s3 agp card. All the other components work fine in another machine but not on my 3 MSI boards.
Please help some one out there must have had the same problem. I'll buy the first person who fixes it cakes!!!

Hi,
I ran memtest 3.0 and there were no errors. it ran for 9 hours.
I am only using one hard disk at a time. it's set as a master on IDE1 and the CDrom is on IDE2 as a master. should I use cable select?? I also tried the hard disk and CD on ide2 and that did not work either.

MSI 645 Ultra - Bios Toasted! Need help

Greetings,
A year ago I attempted to flash my bios on my 645 ultra, but really screwed it up (I flashed from windows). Don't ask why I did that, apparently at the time I had a brain fart! hehe. So anyways, how do I revert to the original bios? Anyway to recover? When I power up the board, it doesnt even POST...
Am I screwed? ;(
Thanks for the assistance guys 8)

Best thing would be to have someone with an EEPROM programmer to burn it, or get a replacement from MSI.
A very risky trick, dont do this, if you do and screw EEPROM or a perfecly well working MOBO up dont blame me.
But sometimes someone has and old dont care MOBO and well your EEPROM is pretty useless so someone might try the BIOS swap trick (I warned everybody):
1. Get BIOS and programingsoftware
2. Find a PC working, turn it on boot on the DOS disc
3. Take the BIOS out - DO NOT shut down the power
(this is the dangerous part)
4. Put the wrongly programmed BIOS in the empty socket
(this is the extremely dangerous part
5. Program the BIOS
6. Turn of and put bios back in their right MOBO

Strange ide problem with 845 ultra

i have got a really strange problem with my 845 ultra board
I have a 2.0 GHz cpu in it, 2x 256MB Nanya CAS2 ddr, , gf4ti and a Realtek nic, onboard audio
ide ports:
primary master: IBM 80GB hdd
primary slave : Lite-On dvd
secundary master: Lite-On 40x cd-rw
Whenever I burn a cd, the whole system hangs while writing the lead-in and lead-out, after that is complete,everything works fine again
Also, when i add files to my Winamp playlist, I always get a general protection fault in Winamp.exe...
And, yes I did check my ram with Memtest86, it is fine
Even a fresh install of either windows 2000 sp3 or windows xp doesn't have any effect, even with all WHQL certified drivers installed
The strange thing is: If I connect all ide devices on a Promise Ultra100 TX2, all problems disappear.
So, is my onboard ide controller dying?
btw, all ide devices work fine in my brothers k7t266 pro2..
edit: fixed it
Never knew that the Intel ide drivers needed to be installed.
I have never needed any ide drivers for any board,so this surprises me.
