655 Max-LS + Geforce FX 5600

I'm having problems with the MSI 655 MAX-LS motherboard and MSI 5600 FX Cards, tried both the 128mb and 256mb version. It works fine until a driver is installed, then I just get a blank screen when it boots into win. Doesn't matter which driver you use, tried so many versions, tried the latest AGP driver from SiS, there's no new bios for the Motherboard. If I put in a Geforce 4 MX 440 it works just fine ... got any ideas? I was about to look for a flash for the FX cards ...

Hi IceAce,
Can I have more details of your com specs cos it looks to me like you are facing a PSU problem (most likely) as you are running a FX 5600 card and a P4 board. Did you update your windows service packs?
You can also check on http://www.hardwarezone.com to one of their reviews on the FX drivers that is more suitable for your system.
All the Best... :D!!!

  • 655 MAX - LS & Geforce 4 Ti4600

    I was curious as to if anyone else is experencing any problems with the 655 max and the geforce ti 4600 with freezing, especially in battlefield 1942, and UT 2003, The game will lock, then either make me reboot or continue playing the game until another lock up occours that causes me to reboot.  I have a fresh copy of XP with sp1, and all the newest drivers agp/ide/etc.. installed correctly I have tried pretty much all the older Nvidia Drivers as well as the 43.45 , Something I found interesting is that it ran both games fine with my brothers G3 , and my friends Radeon 8500 LE , but as soon as I install the drivers for the 4600 it locks up in the games.  The card itself is fine it runs excellent on my pals system, same drivers, please please help all tech support could do is tell me to reinstall the agp driver, but that helped none ?(

  • Problems with 655-MAX FISR

    I have an MSI 655-MAX FISR motherboard and I installed a Radeon 9000 128mb Pro on it. I play counter-strike alot and on my old pc, like 2 or 3 months before I built this one it started to skip and I got this motherboard and it skips on counter-strike too. I play for like 10-15 seconds then I freeze for like 5-10 then I play for like 10-15 seconds again and so on. I have tried a Radeon 9700 Pro 128mb and it does the same thing and I have also tried different ram and it does the same thing. What could be causing this problem? Is it the fact that this motherboard only works with Geforce cards ? Plz help me! Thanks.
    My Rig :
    Pentium 4 2.41 GHZ with 533FSB
    80 Gig Maxtor HD
    550 Watt Power Supply
    Radeon 9000 128mb Pro
    512mb PC2100 266mhz - also tried 512mb PC2700 333mhz together and seperate
    Kingwin K-11 Case

    Did that already, when I uninstalled the drivers for 9000 and put in 9700 but it still did the same thing. What else could be the problem, I have tried alot of things and don't know what else to do. Help Plz :(

  • 655 max 6730 crashing specialist comp

    i have a 655 max msi 8xtreme 6730 version 1.0 mother board with a 2.4 northwood p4 512 ram i have tried the basic config with nothing more than the board and a video card ranging from radeon 7000 gefrce 4 and now geforce fx 5200 and othe hard ware like sound blaster live 5.1 various ether net or lan cards and various didgital cameras and nothing works on this hunk of useless worthless equipment the only reason why this thing exist is to bring out the inner anger from deep in my spirit from just crashing with no message to mem dumps  X(  ;(  ?(  :O  :O  :O  :O  :O  :O  :O  :O  :O  :O  :O  :O  :O  :O  :O  :O  :O  :O  :O please e-mail me @ [email protected]

    I have a MSI 655 MAX-L (BIOS= A6730SMS V3.0 02252003) and a
    Club3D 9800Pro 128Mb VGA card (BK-ATI VER008.004.008.018)
    I had the problem that when WinXP Pro SP1 was started, it
    freezes or black screen (Monitor led burning orange instead
    of green) and i have to reboot with reset button.
    Also sometimes it went back into VGA mode and i had to reboot WinXP.
    WinXP log file says:
    Source: ati2mtag
    Discription:
    The driver ati2dvag for the display device DeviceVideo0 got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates a problem with the device itself or with the
    device driver programming the hardware incorrectly. Please check with your hardware device vendor for any driver updates.
    The solution for me is: Disable Fast Write is the BIOS and
    in WinXP and put AGP to 4x instead of 8x in WinXP
    Now i got 5723 points in 3DMark 2003 and no problems
    You can find these options in WinXP: Display Properties ->
    Settings -> Advanced -> SMARTGARD
    I use: WinXP PRO SP1, Radion v3.04 drivers, SiS IDE v2.03, SiS AGP v1.16a,
    Try this solution, maybe it will help

  • Cannot restart using 4 RAM Modules on 655 Max HT Ready (MS-6730)

    When I use four 512MB RAM modules, my computer starts up and works fine. The only problem is, that I can't restart the it (D-LED boot-error: Memory Failure). To make it run again i have to turn it off and unplug the power cable.
    When there are only two RAM modules installed (slot 1 & 3), everything works fine.
    What settings do I need to make in the BIOS that it works with all 4 memory modules?

  • Performance Problems with GeForce FX 5600 256mb Video Card

    I recently purchased the GeForce FX 5600 VTD 256mb video card to replace my old ATi Radeon 8500 64mb card.  I'm running an AMD 2800XP+ on an MSI K7N2 Delta-L, with 1gb of PC 2100 on Windows XP Pro.
    I installed the latest drivers (from the EGA site) and ran 3DMark 2001 SE.  My score for the old card (a 64mb card) was about 9200.  My score for the new 256mb card is only 8700.  My roommate has a GeForce 4 TI4600 128mb video card.  We put his card in my computer, and I scored 11117.  According to PCStats.com, the FX 5600 128mb version scored about 11000.
    I've tried everything I can think of to ensure my video card is working properly,  but I still get low scores.  I don't know if I'm missing something somwhere, but there has to be a way to get more performance out of the video card.  Can anyone help me out here?

    Yeah, I've ran the driver cleaner after changing each driver.  And I've tried several drivers with the new card.  I've even changed the clock settings a bit, which has helped bring the scores up to around 9000.  Still way off from the GeForce 4 or the 128mb version of the 5600.

  • Problem with 848p NEO V and GeForce FX 5600 point of View

    Hello there,
    I have bought a mobo yesterday (848p NEO V) then when I tried to plug the graphic card (Ge Force FX 5600 point of view) the computer reboots just before entering Win XP PRO.
    So I tried another graphic card (ATI 9200), all worked fine.
    In the same way, I tried my GeForce in another mobo (ECS P4VXAS) and of course all worked fine.
    Each time I tried the MSI mobo with the GeForce card (using diffrents drivers), it doesn't work.
    Does someone know where could this problem come from?
    Thank you very much

  • Need help with my GeForce FX 5600

    Please could some body tell me what is wrong with my geforce fx 5600 vtdr 128 graphics card
    I have recently purchased the card and have noticed that in powerstrip and 3d mark it states that the core clock speed is 54.0 mhz and the memory clock speed is 100.4 mhz
    I know this is wrong because it states on MSI's website that the core clock speed is 325 mhz and the memory clock speed is 550 mhz
    Please could somebody help me with information or how to correct the problem or if this is normal
    Thanks very much, help would be much appreciated.

    Can you play your games better than you could with your old graphics card? Can you get high resolution and nice pretty textures?
    If so, why worry about the numbers pumped out of a piece of software that doesn't let you wander about shooting aliens (or whatever your gaming bag is)?

  • KT4V + Leadtel GeForce FX 5600 ultra = compatible?

    Hi all,
    I would like to know if the Leadteck A310 GeForce FX 5600 Ultra 128 Mo is compatible with a KT4V ver 1.0. The test report of MSI is rather short and does not mention any older card than a GeForce 4 Mx.
    I am asking this, because she doesn't boot with a SUMA GeForce 4 Ti 4200 SE 64 Mo. And I mean, when I plug the card in the AGP port, everything is like if I unplug the power cable. I've seen another user on this forum, with the same problem (GeForce 4 Ti 4200 64Mo, but a Siluro), and no solution where found. Even with nothing on it (no proc, no ram, nothing), the card it booting. But as soon as I put the Suma, no reaction. I tried a Geforce 2 MX, and it works just fine.
    Thanks in advance,
    Freeman.

    My power supply is a 350 W Enermax dual-fan (don't remember exactly the spec). My old KT3 ultra liked it and never complained about it
    I've tried a Geforce 4 Ti 4200 SE 128Mo - 8X. It works perfectly. I really dont know why my old GeForce 4 Ti4200 SE 64Mo- 4X doesn't work. Usualy, when there's a compatibility problem, at least, the system boots (even if it hangs soon after). But here, with the old GeForce, not a move. not even a breath from fans.
    So, I decided to buy a new graphic card =  a FX 5600 Ultra. By the way, ATI offers more interesting card, but there are so many compatibility issues that I am afraid to try one... If enough people can assure me I will be safe with an ATI 9600 Pro on a KT4V, I may give it a try.

  • GeForce FX 5600 problems

    I recently bought a MSI GeForce FX 5600 256MB.
    After installation, when turning on the computer, I get video problems (small "dots" stochasticly spread over the screen). This problem still appears after installing the latest drivers. Tried the card on another PC, same motherboard as I have, the problem is there as well.
    450W PWRSupply, so no lack of pwr...  ?(
    AMD Athlon XP2800 (Barton)
    MSI 746F ULTRA Motherboard DDR400
    Maxtor IDE ATA-133 120GB
    MSI GeForce FX 5600 256MB DDR
    2x TwinMOS PC2700 DDR-DIMM 512MB

    I have the same problem here using the DVI out when the refresh rate is set AT MORE than 60 Hz. I have tried to uninstall the drivers and reinstall and after, I have no choice of refresh frequency. The card is stuck at 60 Hz on the DVI out. No more dots but sore eyes !!!  ;(
    So I switch back to the analog output and it provide up to 1280X1024 @ 75 Hz which is what my sreen can support and it works perfectly. I guess using the analog output would be best for the moment since I have tried another brand new FX5600 and still have the same problem.
    I think the FX5600 is still a good card anyway ! Difference between DVI and analog out ?? Could not tell on my screen so why not use the analog output then ?!
    CLICK HERE (.wmv 280k) to see a small video of what I see on my ViewSonic VP171b LCD display . Really small flickering dots on some region of the screen.
    I have contact ViewSonic and they are not aware of that problem and told me it was the video card that would probably cause the problem. I guess they were right reading this thread !

  • MSI GeForce FX 5600 256MB DDR with BIG FAN!

    Hi,
    I was thinking in buying a new video card and a MSI Geforce FX 5600 256MB DDR is a very good choice for me, but i realised that despite the fact, that its a 256MB DDR running at 400Mhz, compared with the 550Mhz of the GFFX 5600 of 128MB DDR and i was thinking in buying a bigger cooling solution to replace the bundled one with the card. So i could overclock the mem frecuency at 550Mhz. So my question is, do you know of a good and not so expensive cooling solution for the card??.

    Companies like Zalman and Vantec has to offer some nice and quiet cooling solutions.See video card's RAM specs for that kind of o/c.

  • 655 Max FISR SATA & Video Card Troubles

    Hi all
    I put together my 655 Max FISR (non HT) based system 3 weeks ago and have had nothing but problems (this is the third PC I've built and it's the only one to have caused major problems).  Initially the memory and video card were problematic, stopping me from installing Windows XP, but having read some of the other threads the poor old 655 seems to have lots of problems with various components.
    My motherboard hated the Crucial Technology PC3200 512Mb memory (CT6464Z40B) I put in DIMM 1 and the MSI 5600U VTD-128 video card.  Anyway suffice to say I solved the problems easily enough.  I swapped the memory and the video card  over with that in my MSI 645e Max U (the video card was a Connect 3D Radeon 7500 for info).  The 645 runs beautifully with no problems whatsoever, unlike the 655!  
    I've now upgraded the Radeon 7500 to a Sapphire Radeon 9600XT which works really well. So if you are having problems with a card based on an nVidia chipset (which Win XP keeps saying has drivers that don't pass the compatability test) I'd try the ATI cards.
    My main problem now is with the two Western Digital SATA drives I've got setup in a RAID 0 array.
    Firstly I'm getting poor disk transfer rates (I used the SiSoftware Sandra utility to benchmark the file system, and got a really poor 23Mb/s).  As an example Windows XP loads up in 1 minute 8 seconds from power on, unlike the 645 with a 80Gb Maxtor DiamondMax 9 which does it in 45 seconds - I was getting Windows up in 32 seconds after initial installation of XP!!!  Now I know I've got PC2100 memory in this machine, but it seems to have got slower since I did a driver and Windows XP update (hope this isn't anything to do with the I've downloaded).
    The second problem is a bit more serious, one of my Raptor drives keeps dropping off line when I run either the error checking or defragmentation tools in Windows.  The computer shuts down and re-boots only to tell me there's been a problem (a drive has failed or disconnected) before asking for a boot floppy. Fortunately, if I delete then redefine the array I get the system up and running again, but it is annoying!  Problem is, with the 655's reputation, I don't know whether I have a motherboard, cable or drive problem.  A limited trouble shoot by swapping over the drives has ascertained which one the system alleges to keep failing, but I'm now stuck, short of trying new cables, or buying a SATA RAID controller and sticking it in the 645 to see if it is one of the drives that's at fault.    
    So any ideas on the drive situation?
    Best regards

    Apologies for being away for a while, been busy with work & sorting out a pair of bad Raptors drives!  Thanks for the replies from Hellwolf_36 and simps.
    I can now report that after I'd worked out that I'd got not one but two damaged 74Gb WD Raptor drive (one had a lot of bad sectors and the other would take over two hours instead of 20 minutes to format which is why I was getting that stop message) and I had replaced the memory with one stick of the Kingston KV400X64C25/512 DDR, my 655 is now working quite well.  I haven't got round to checking if I've got the latest C-media driver installed though.
    One thing I did do though was set up my Raptor drives as two independant arrays (C: & D:) rather than RAIDing them.  This is because, I didn't want to stripe the drives just in case of another failure, plus I have more flexibility over storage space not mirroring the drives, unti lI can afford to by another hard drive or two.  Anyway they're really fast in the first place.  
    For this motherboard I wouldn't bother with any other type of memory other than the KV400X64C25 as recommended on the MSI website, as it's quite fast and no hassle, (can't wait to get my second 512Mb so I can go back to dual channel!!)  Only problem is that the price has gone up a little bit over the past couple of months.
    So apart from this MoBo being particular about graphics cards and memory it's not too bad.  My next challenges are too sort out the center/sub problem and network  this baby.

  • Msi 655 max fisr ht ready: does it have fsb800 support?

    i own msi 655 max fisr mobo, that supports ddr333 and fsb 533 as msi says. but it can handle also ddr 400 through overclocking and the bios has an option for fsb selection up to 250 mhz. according to me, this meens that one can use a cpu at fsb 800 by overclocking the mobo from the bios, even if it doesn't support the microcode of the cpu. does anyone have tested this statement, as at the time it is onlu speculation by me, as it is too expensive for my to buy new cpu and try it.
    moreover, my revision of the mobo is stepping b0, thus it supports ht cpus and if it proves to support fsb 800 by overclocking, then i can keep it for a while, upgrading my system only with new cpu. i'll be thankful if anyone can provide me with some information on this topick.

    What I am trying to explain is the downclocking of a DDR 400 RAM 1st to 333 Mhz then try to o/c to get DDR 400 or above, not saying that you are wrong.
    Any board can support o/c'ing but it is all up to whether the hardwares that you have and their capability to do so as no one can actually determined whether or not the hardwares that you have will definately let you ends up the way it's really meant to be as there's always important facts being left out so it's always trial and error...
    I have 2 of these systems running on the same mobo, but the highest I can reached with DDR 400 RAMs are just near DDR 400 not exactly 400 MHz and FSB are at near 170 quad = 170 x 4 = 680FSB... from a FSB 533 CPU. Both have different results as 1 is with DDR 333 RAMs o/c'ed to 380MHz on 2.8 B CPU and another with DDR 400MHz down to 333MHz then o/c'ed up to near 400Mhz on 2.8B CPU also...
