645E Max-C Flashed wont POST

I just got a Max-C 645E Ms-6547e.
I had this problem with my ms-6529.
It wont boot into XP! I have a dual boot with 98SE and XP Pro. It boots into 98SE fine but gets to the Boot Screen of XP and I get a Blue screen error about Viruses and Newly installed HDDs. I know that isnt the problem. like I said my 6529 did the exact same thing
On the 6529 I changed the Modem/Audio settings and flashed the BIOS and it booted.
So I try it with this new POS. Flashed my bios with .31 and now it wont POST! The DLED sticks in "Early Chipset Initialization" and hangs there. Ive pulled the CMOS Battery AND jumped it to 2/3 position. At this point recovery isnt likely.
Need help. Ive been a loyal MSI user for a while now but am losing patience.
Thanks

I think I was cheated on the 645E Max-C

I was hoping someone could answer a question.
I just purchased a 645E Max-c (well thats what the box and all said). But when I inspected it further the motherboard had been restickered with the 645E Max-C sticker being placed over the actual board serial (which was a 645 ultra.
The only real difference between the two boards appears to be the chipsets. One of which (Northern) I can't check because it is under the heat sink. But should I assume that this chipset should have 645DX on it as opposed to the 645 that is installed in the ultra?
Secondly, on the second chipset (Southern), should it be marked as 961B and not the 961 as is in the ultra?
Could someone please advise me on this, so i can crack the shits with the supplier if he is wrong.
Regards
ACI

The same thing shows up if I use live update for the bios, MS-6547.
However, Sandra shows the chipset as 645dx and the bios shows ata133, which I don't believe was available with the 645 chipset.
from the looks of it, the max-c was a bit of a frankenstien board which has already been moved into the "archive" section in MSI's products.
Ms-6547 = Ultra
Ms-6547E= ???????????? ?( ?(

Flash wont work in firefox 4 beta OR 3.6.3 in ubuntu

okay i got firefox 4 beta 11 and noticed flash player wasn't working. I decided to fix it later and went back to the version i previously used.
Flash wont work on there EITHER!
edit: firefox 3.6.3

If it is about a problem with a Firefox 4.0 beta version then you may need to post in the Firefox Builds forum on that site.

1.8 bios wont POST, what can I do?

Well... it seems to me that the beta 1.81 bios is more stable than their final release. Now I don't know what to do. My computer wont POST. It just beeps continally until I turn it off. There are no patterns, its just one beep after another with about 1-2 seconds between beeps. Can anyone help?

Hi Guys n Dolls
heres another prob ive found with bios 1.8
after a successful flash in windows and reboot everything seams OK cept for a worrying message ... Checking NVRAM .. NO NVRAM
the new bios stole my NVRAM so now im scared to turn puter off in case it wont boot again .. lol
anyone else got this .. if so did your pc turn off and on again .. geeeeee what a nightmare
EDIT : well i got brave and switched pc off ... thankfully it restarted .. so not sure why it stole my NVRAM .. lol

Please help 790GX G65 wont POST

Hi MSI community,
I have a brand new 790GX-G65 as part of my all new build and it wont POST.
here's the system
790GX-G65 - winki edition (winki not connected)
Phennom X4 965 Black (AM3 package, 3.4GHz)
Corsair 400W PSU
2*2GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 - p/n cmd4gx3m2b1600c8 , which according to the reseller's website is guaranteed to support all DDR3 platforms from AMD
using the onboard ATI RADEON 3300 via the vga socket
I have the board outside the chassis on a peice of cardboard
the 24 pin connector, 4pin connector, heatsink fan, CPU, ram, keyboard(tried PS2 and USB ones) and monitor are the only things connected.
I have tried using each ram stick individually in slot1, both together in slots 1 and 2 and no ram at all.
In each case when i start the system the fans come on, the reset and power buttons light up, the five blue LEDs in the top right corner come on NB1,LED2,LED3,LED4 first then LED1 a second or so later, but nothing else happens.
no beep codes(have tried with and without the system speaker connected), no signal to the monitor (tried several monitors)
I've tried clearing the CMOS several times.
it seems to me like its a dead chip or board but i cant truly rule out ram.
anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
I will ask around to see if i can find another AM3 chip or board to test against but most of my friends went the intel route
many thanks

Hi Guys,
Thankyou all for replying, sadly though it still doesn't work :(
nt650
I could understand the psu struggling if i had load of othe things running off it, but it's just the board and chip.
I'm happy that its not the board shorting out on the cardboard.
I've tried it with a couple of old ATI rage IIs I had lying around and theres no joy from either of those. both known to work in other pcs
I'm using the standard AMD HSF so the clip on that shouldn't have caused a problem. I didn't need a hammer to fit it!
HDD is not connected
CMOS battery seems fine
paperclip test was fine, fan spun up immediately
Fredrik
I cant be sure what bios version i have, its a brand new board and i havn't flashed it so whatever it shipped with, v1.4 I guess. Are there any known issues?
Bas
I checked the pins again, all there and straight.
Hans
I'll try and lay my hands on a beefier PSU tomorrow, but with just chip and board it should run ok. I know it's near the bottom end of the recommended range but the PSU companies will always want to sell you more than you need.
One other thing I tried just for kicks was to start the board without the chip in at all,
the hsf still came on, the speaker still did nothing but only LED1 LED2 LED3 and LED4 came on, not NB1. I have no idea what (if anything) that means, but hopefullly someone on here does.
Anymore ideas out there? They would be gratefully received

645E max booting

Does anyone know what the beep patterns on the MSI 645E Max (MS-6547 v 2.X) are during boot up? They are not listed in the manual nor could I find it on the site.

I dont know the bbep codes but until someone posts them for you you could try the following...
Most common causes of beeps during bootup is 'ram not seated correctly, take out and reseat, and video card not seated properly, again take out and reseat'
Thats something that you could try before you get a better reply... sry if this proves to be no use.
PS: what beeps are you hearing?

645E Max Hard Drive problem

I have just purchased the 645E Max MS-6547 v.2.x board. It's got a SiS 961B chipset and is supposed to support P4 processors at 533MHz.
I have 3 Western Digital hard drives plus a cdrom plugged at the moment. I jumpered them as I always have...master/slave or, if alone on one ide, no jumper at all. They were detected correctly in the bios but I was unable to get into any OS. After the POST, I got a bunch of 9's or 1's on my screen and could go no farther. The only way I can boot into Win2K, WinMe or Win98SE is if they are jumpered as Cable Select. They run fine that way but I don't think Cable Select is supposed to be my only option here.
I have two HDD's on ide 1 The Prim/Master is 15GB, ata66 and Prim/Slave is 60GB, ata100 with the correct ribbon cable, and on ide 2, Sec/Master is 6GB ata33 and the cdrom as Sec/Slave.
I appear to have the most recent bios version 3.1 (I believe that's the version) and could find no updates that address this problem. LBA is enabled btw.
Has anyone else experienced this wierdity?
Also, is anyone running linux with this mobo?
Lucyjean

OK my computer is obviously up and running because I'm here :] Drives on both ide controllers are jumpered cable select. I have only one bootable drive and it's the primary master.
The drives weren't switched around.....I would have gotten some kind of system disk error message I think if that were the case and not a bunch of 1's and 9's on my screen. The boot order in my bios is ok too.
Not only do I have to use cable select on ide 1, I have to do it on ide 2 also or it will just hang after the POST.
My bootable drive is a western digital. Even as a standalone, I have to jumper it cable select or it hangs. After I got the computer to boot with just the one drive on ide 1, I added a hard drive to ide 2...another western digital, and couldn't get past the POST unless I used cable select on it too. Very strange indeed.
I'm not so sure about this motherboard......

Poor Performance with 645E Max v2.0

I have the following setup:
645E Max v2.0 mother board
1.7 Ghz Pentium 4
1 Gb RAM - Kingston 2100 - 2 * 512Mb
Leadtek A250 - Nvidia GeForce 4 TI 4400 with 128mb
SoundBlaster Audigy Gamer
All 4 USB ports are enabled
All Serial and Parallel ports are disabled
On board sound, midi and gameport disabled
AGP aperture set to 512MB
Creative Labs 32x CDROM
Western Digital 120GB IDE/EIDE Hard Drive
300w Power Supply
Mother board set to "default" settings - no overclocking
ViewSonic A90f monitor set to 1152x864 - 32bit color
DirextX 9 - Hardware acceleration for graphics and full-acceleration for sound
Every patch, update, version available for all software and hardware.
When I run 3DMark03 on this system I get a score below 500. When I do an online compare of similar systems (the mother boards are not the same but the sound, graphics and memory are the same) the scores are around 1500. When I look at the details my system is without exception running at a fraction of other systems in all respects.
Also, I am currently unable to play Train Simulator unless I really ease off on the graphics and sound.
Given my current hardware and expectations regarding performance should I be using a different MotherBoard? What about power supply?
I've talked to support engineers from Microsoft and Creative and they are of the opinion that my system should perform as good as any out there.
Any thoughts?

If it's not giving you errors, and is not unstable, I would (guess) not.
Did you load all the motherboard drivers and the SIS AGP driver? Just double checking.
Edited: Have you updated the BIOS on that (3.2 or above)? There's a BIOS available that turns on fast writes. That should make a difference.
Might also check this link to the first post in this forum. Not sure if all that applies to your board also. Doesn't sound good though.

WARNING !!! the new BIOS (5.2) for 645E max U won't boot with ad

I've just tried to flash the BIOS 5.2 for the MSI 645E max U, and my computer didn't boot after that ! (I've an adaptec 29160).
I tried to reinstall windows XP, and nothing... no recognition of my hard disk, despite it is recognized in the list of bootable devices in the bios setup.
I came back to version 5.1, and all is ok now...
Hope you will fix that in the next version !

Definately not the power supply .. I just tried a 350 watt and a 430 and still same issue. There's only 2 parts I haven't replaced ... the motherboard and the cpu ... so it's got to be either one of them but I don't have any xtra gear here to try :(

645E Max HD and NIC problems?

I'm having three problems with my 645E Max and I'm not sure if they're with the motherboard or the hard drive and NIC.
Here are the problems:
1. Occasionally when I start my computer I get a "Hard drive: Imminent failure. Backup and Replace" error message.
2. Sometimes when I boot up, my computer goes in an very long loop. It restarts itself about 20-30 times before getting into windows.
Up until this point it sounds like a HD problem... but the HD seems to be working fine otherwise.
3. The NIC sometimes doesn't seem like it's getting power (the lights on the back don't light up) when I turn it on. Restarting usually doesn't help, but moving the NIC to another PCI slot usually fixes the problem. ((It's not a bad PCI slot, since moving it from one to another, and then back to the original one also fixes the problem))
Suggestions?

hehe..ok.. i had the same problem with my hdd's.
all i did was to switch places on the ide cable. fixed the problem. strange =)

New BUg in 645E MAX 2

Hi, I found a new bug in 645E MAX 2. When you run the FSB at 145Mhz, and boot it up, the actual frequency that it will run is 87. something... I verified this in wcpuid. On top of that, I ran the sandra benchmark and that also verified that the FSB was running slower. I change the FSB to 144 and 146, and both ran fine ehehhe...

i guess the system cant handle 145 and set itself to safe values after freezing?

Help on 645E Max 2

I need someone to verify with me if the CPU ratio selection under the Frequency/Voltage portion of the bios is stated as locked ??
I am having an unlocked CPU, so this selection allow me to change the values from default to 0x - 15x. But when I change the CPU ratio selection to any other values other then default, the system won't boot, checking the debug LED ( 3 red and 1 yellow) meaning setting up chitset or something like that.
As for the FSB, when set to auto, it is 133Mhz. Which is correct cause this processor is actually a P4 2.4B 2.4Ghz fsb = 133.
On top of that, the default multiplier is 12x which doesn't make sense. The cpu ratio selection is also skrewed, since the range is from 0 - 15 and not 14 - 24 ??? this is really weird !!!
Regards,
Jen Sen ;(

Well actually, I got it from a friend... ehhehe Where he got it is a secret... can't help you though... but if you have a 645E max 2...please check for me if the cpu ratio selection is stated as locked ?? or can you change it... or is it default ??
