694t Pro +s-ata

Hi there,
have a 694t pro mobo which performs beautifully. However, I have ordered a new hd drive (IBM 80GB) and unfortunately after the fact remembered that S-ATA and my 694T mobo might be a problem. Is it? Thanks in advance for your reactions.

has no sata on the board so you better order a pci sata card as well

694T Pro

Hello.. I hope that someone here can help me with this. I have the 694T Pro MB. The processor is I think a 9 something. The question is... what's going on with my computer!! lol. Here's what's going on. When I try to restart my computer it boots down but won't boot back up. I turn the power off and back on and the LEDs on the mother board give me "Early Chipset Initialization" from what the book says. My question is... what does that mean? My MB bad or my processor? Usually once I turn off and back on again it'll boot on up. When I'm in Windows and working nothing appears to be wrong. The CPU temp and tower temp are all fine. Any ideas??
Thanks,
Amanda

Okay, this might sound like a silly question that I probably already know how to do, but how do I reset the CMOS? And with my power supply... Not sure if this will help any... but I have PC alert... and this is what it's ready for my power
VCore - 1.78 V
+5V - 5.13 V
3.3v - 3.43 V
+12V - 12.50 V
My Fan speed is 2753 RPM... It goes from there to 2800RPM.
Everything has kept a pretty straight reading... within the red lines on it. The thing about checking the power supply... I don't have another power supply so I can't just test it that way. This time when I booted my computer I had all red lights.. turned it off the on and got GRRR. Restarted it again and it booted on up.

Help! 694T Pro (MS6309) not working...

I have a MSI 694T Pro (otherwise known as a MS6309) which worked very well until a few days ago when I changed my cpu cooler. Now it POST's perfectly and I can enter and use the BIOS setup but it simply hangs when trying to boot (HDD, CD or Floppy). The D-Leds say that it's trying to boot.
I have a thesis to finish by the end of the month so I really need my computer.

I did remount the original cooler (with plenty of heat goop) and checked every cable. The hard drive, floppy and dvd are all detected properly, and the cpu temperature and cpu fan speeds give nice healthy readings in the bios...

694T Pro and Asus v8200 video card

I can't seem to make my MSI 694T Pro run at AGP 4x mode with my Asus v8200 (a GeForce3 video card). It's running at 2x only with this card, but with GeForce2 cards it runs at 4x. I tried different versions of nVIDIA drivers and updating the BIOS to no avail.
Any ideas?

Okay, this is starting to suck, my new Mac Pro is acting up too. I have posted about crashing to another thread where NVChannel has problems and the screen freezes. And now I have this problem too. It's hard to get any new windows to appear (such as context lists, menu views or just normal application windows).
And my log is full of this:

Need I upgrade My MSI 694T-Pro?

I have a mainboard which I have been using it over 5 years. Actually, I like it very much because it never making any troubles to me. Owing to it's high quality and suitability that I almost had not it repaired.
My favor 6309 V5.0, I had refreshed it's BIOS to new version V7.5 and it can support 160G HDD. Unfortunately, I am still using GF2 MX400 32M VGA card and PIII 1G CPU, I found my motherboard can support PIII-S tulatain and I dislike CIII so I wanna to purchase a PIII-S 1.4G and ATI9550 double 128M VGA card but I hesitate to carry out my plan at once.
For one thing, PIII-S 1.4G may be not well than my imagine, for another I have not known ATI 9550 can be used on my board because I have heard somebody often say it can't using in VIA board.
I am a fans of MSI and I have bought a new P35 motherboard now. However, I am not willing to dispose my 694T-Pro and I am using it like my close friend sometimes. For your surprising, My 6309 V5.0 still look like brandnew and I plan to using it 3-5years.
Need I upgrade My MSI 694T-Pro? Thank you ,very much!

Thank you for your reply!
Firstly, I am willing to upgrade my 6309 only for loving it deeply but I have owned a newly PC now, I have bought it last month and it is advanced as many people perfect. ( Q6600+P5K SE +2G*2 Kingston+320G 7200.11 +XFX 8800GT +TT KK550 +G1 +DVD SATA)
Secondly, I wanna to obtain good quality of screen display, meanwhile, I found it has little distinguish from new PC when I am just typing and suffering Internet. However, I had a amount of PC games under DX 8.0 so I need a stronger VGA card instead of my GF2, how about it?
Overall, I just use my 6309 for simple affair and I usually do more complicated work by means of new PC.
My question is , what a best VGA card can 694T-Pro be used ?
Thank you!

MSI 694T Pro USB

I Have a MSI 694T Pro (MS-6309 v5.0)
i have had trouble hooking up the front USB port plugs on my tower to the motherboard pins
does anyone have a diagram or description of what order the plugs should go in
Thanks

Pin 1 = Power Pin 2 = Power
Pin 3 = Data - Pin 4 = Data -
Pin 5 = Data + Pin 6 = Data +
Pin 7 = Ground Pin 8 = Ground
Pin 9 = Key or Blocked pin Pin 10 = Ground OC (open/no connection)
In your little depiction pin 1 will be upper left, pin 2 upper right, no pin 9, pin 10 lower right
Edit: looks like Richard got that one in there before I hit the post button.

694t pro 2beeps after bios upgrade

Hi,
I have an MSI 694t pro with a via chipset (vt82c694) and I was having problems with a sound card installation so I tried to upgrade the bios. I used the bios on http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=20&kind=1 which was file name 6309v75.exe
I unpacked the files and rebooted using a dos boot disk. I ran the command for the bios tool with the path for the bios file (can't remember name exactly but something like... a:\avpl??.exe a:\temp\nameofbiosfile.708
After rebooting I do not get any post... all I get now is an infuriating beep beep which happens in about a second, followed by a 1 second pause and then those two beeps in a second again followed by a 1 second pause and this goes on and on continuos. I seem to recall a SIS agp logo when the motherboard used to work. The lights from bottom to top und jacks on the motherboard light up red, red, green, red.
Does anybody have any ideas what this problem is and how to work around it please?
many thanks
Wayne

694T pro boot problem?

I got a 694T pro and have used it for some years now without problems. When I went on vacation I unplugged the power to the comp. When I got back after a week the computer didnt boot up. When I pressed the power switch the green main power indicator lights up and the hdd indicator blinks orange on time. Nothing more happends. The hdd or cd-readers dont start. All fans are dead. The LEDs at the mobo all blinks red once and then goes black again. I had the computer plugged in for a while and then suddenly it started when I pressed the power switch. And then it worked for about a week. Then I went away for a week again and unplugged the computer and when I got back home again I had the same problem, but this time it dont start. What can be the problem?

A new battery didnt help :( Someone with more ideas?
What does it indicate when the leds blinks red once and then turns off? Cant find anything about it in the manual.
Another strange thing is when I have replaced the battery and unpluged the powersupply cabel in the mobo and then plug it in again, the cpu fan starts for half a second when I press the power switch but then it stops again.

694T Pro: Hard Drive problem

Hey ho,
I'm swapping bits around in a couple of PCs atm. Pulled my 80 gig drives out of my aged P2-450 and stuck one into a P3-1000 running the 694T Pro motherboard. Currently that machine already has a 30g system drive and a 160g save drive (running at full capacity). I want to take the data off the 80g and stick it on the other drives as it's got all of my email etc. etc. I remember have problems getting the 160 to be recognised in the P3 and had to use a Seagate util to get it up to full capacity. The same goes for the 80g which was in the P2.
So, all of the drives come up fine in the Bios of the P3, no locking up. W2k boots perfectly. However, although the 80g drive is seen by W2k it says it needs formatting, which it does not. It's an NTFS drive, and it's set up as the secondary slave.
Pri master - 30g seagate
Pri slave - dvd drive
Sec master - 160g seagate
Sec slave - 80g seagate
Any ideas greatfully received. I know I've done this before.. like... twice, and can't for the hell of me remember how.
I cannot format the 80g and loose the data...
Cheers,
Mark.

Try jumpering them (Secondary IDE drives) to CS(Cable Select) mode.

Rebooting after it boot up once..[MSI 694T pro]

spec : PIII 1GHhz..
I busted my mainboard a week ago so I ordered MSI 694T pro to replace
well..it seems like working well
but after I leave the computer off for long time,
if I turn on the computer, the computer reboot itself automatically after it goes into Windows..
I thought it was ACPI problem. so I tried to flash the BIOS. I tried all version of BIOS, but none of those BIOS can't fix the problem.
Rebooting occurs only once when I turn on the computer.
After I can use without any problem.
Because of automatic reboot during booting up, Windows gets massed up...
is the board inferior? or is there any way to fix this problem?

I found the problem..
it was one of the memories..
One of those were broken. I tried switching network cards to find out the problems, but I couldn't find anything.
Finally, I parted everything and put those one by one..
oh my gosh...it was the stupid memory...
but still I have a problem
After I reinstalled win2k, one other blue screen msg came out.
Actually, it also came out when I used the broken memory, but I didn't mention about it b/c I thought every problem was from mainboard, which wasn't..
anyway, after I reinstalled w2k, it says this mainboard doesn't support ACPI, but it is supposed to be...
but this msg also comes out only once. After all, it never comes out again..but I just wonder why this happens
thx

Question of MSI 694T-Pro

My motherboard of PC is msi-694T-pro, although I 've updated BIOS to the latest V7.5, I feel it so low in speed. For instance, I used Windows tool to testmy PC and find it cann't exceed my 815EPT, especially in VGA card and SDRAM!
My PC:
694T-Pro (v7.5 BIOS)
PIII 1G
HY PC133 512M
DVD-ROM
GEFORCE4 MX440SE 64M
160G HDD
May I need to purchase a PIII-S 1.4G CPU, can it improve my PC'speed as much as possible?
Need I change ATI Radeon 8500 VGA card instead of my old card?
How to renew my PC assemblies in high effiiciencyand economy?
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum
The fastest PIII cpu that is supported by your motherboard is a 1.26 Tulatin core. Check the cpu support chart.

Do you have 4x agp enabled in your bios? Your video card is able to run at 4xagp.
Does your cpu have the 100Mhz front side bus? If the cpu has a 100Mhz fsb and the memory is set to run 1:1 with the cpu in the bios, then the memory is running at 100Mhz as well instead of the 133 that it is rated to run at.
Setting the memory to run at Auto or SPD is the bios will help speed the system up a little.
I would not spend any money on it to try and speed it up if it was mine. Save that money and add to it until you can purchase the components to build a new system. That will give you the best return on any investment you might make for computer parts..

MSI 694T PRO

hi

Did you enable onboard LAN back in BIOS?

Why is the MacBook Pro Serial ATA transfer speed half that of the new iMac?

I have a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz 15.4 inch with a Seagate Momentus 160 GB, 7200 rpm, serial ATA, PRT hard drive. This hard drive has a serial ATA transfer speed rating of 3.0 Gigabits per second. The MBP logic board has an Intel 965 chip set that has a serial transfer speed rating of 3.0 Gigabits per second. I was at the Mac Store the other day and noticed that the new iMac 20 and 24 inch computers (that have the same intel 965 chip set) have an Intel ICH8-MAHCI speed rating of 3.0 Gigabits per second. My question is why does the MacBook and MacBook Pro's only have an Intel ICH8-M AHCI speed rating of 1.5 Gigabits per second? Attached is a copy of my Serial-ATA information:
Intel ICH8-M AHCI:

For several reason although the main one is that the vast majority of 2.5" drives have a 1.5Gbps interfacce. Drives with a 3Gbps interface in this size are rare where as they're very common in the 3.5" drive size which is used in the iMac.
Additionally you'll find that few drives do in fact make use of this larger bandwidth. For instance, the fastest 3.5" SATA drive one can buy for an iMac/Mac Pro up to 500GB is in fact a Western Digital Raptor 150GB which has an SATA I 1.5Gbps interface. So the interface bandwidth isn't everything. Yes there are faster drives than this now but they are in the 750GB size and up.

MSI 694T Pro AGP and PCI clocks in OC

Hi!
I wonder about when raising FSB on this motherboard; will there be any divider for the pci and agp clocks, so the pci stays at 33 mhz so I don't mess up any hardware there? And what about the AGP? ?(
specs are as follows:
1.2 celeron (100*12)
ATI Radeon 7500
I'll be happy for all responding! )
And excuse my english please!

Hi Assaf,
This gets to be more of a mystery!

No, there is no sign any such a device in the boot up information, which is a bit strange isn't it? It lists my other stuff o.k. - see below.
What other PCI cards do you have?
I have the following installed:
Network Adaptor 1: Realtek RTL8139(A)-based PCI Fast Ethernet Adaptor. The driver for this must be included in Win 2000 as I didn't have to install anything for it.
Network Adaptor 2: BT Speedway ISDN PCI Card Rev. A (Win 2000). I had to install the driver for this from the supplied CD.
Video Adaptor: NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 M64/M64 PRO. I installed the latest unified driver from NVIDIA (Version: 44.03
Release Date: May 14, 2003).
What puzzles me most is that when I rebuilt the system I started out with just the video card installed and no other adaptors (the card was using the Microsoft supplied driver) and there was no sign of the sound system then. So, unless there is something fundamentally wrong with the motherboard surely the sound should have been detected?
Cheers and thanks for your help.
