845 E-Max Bios Question

Can anyone help me with this one, I have an 845 E-Max mobo and for a while my boot up would take a while because of the USB devices, and then MSI relaesed a BIOS fix that took care of that problem, and it did, after I flashed my Bios my boot sequence was quick as ever and have had no problems since. However I recently re-formated (
Thanks

yes I agree about not flashing the Bios over and over again, but was jsut curious to see what it would do, it's how I learn things, and if it breaks then I know not too do that again in the future. As to your question, I have a powered USB hub that has a printer connected to it and sometimes a web cam but the web cam is not an issue as it is never really plugged all the time, but the powered USB is. The only change that I have made that I just thought of is the power USB is now connected through my monitor and then the monitor usb acts as a hub as well. So the Monitor is connected to the computer for the USB power, then the USB hub is connected through the monitor. Then the neck bone is connected to the shoulder bone and the shouldler oh wait...I'm getting off track here. Ummm....let me try something, I think I may have just answered my own problem here....BRB

DRAM Freq-845G Max Bios question

Current Bios ver 1.5 for MS-6580.
The manual and the BIOS setup Help screen says that the DRAM Freq is selectable from Auto, 200, 266, 333. I have one stick 256MB DDR333 PC2700 installed and cannot select 333. Is this a misprint or am I not doing something right?

DDR333 is supported unofficially (intel don't claim DDR333 support for the845G chipset).
You can get DDR333 speed if you have a CPU that uses the 533MHz FSB.

845 PE MAX BIOS ISSUE

I just built a new system with all new parts as follows:
Enermax 350 Watt P/S
Kingston pc2700 DDR 333mhz 512 MB Ram
Asus GeForce4 Ti 4200 64Mb
WD 80GB ata133 hdd
I cant load ANYHING and the only thing I cant figure out is how to set my Ram Freq to 333mhz. My only options are auto, 200,266. WHY NO 333?? It even says "Warning set to 333" but the option isnt even there!! HELP SOMEONE PLEASE!!!!!

I had my WD HDD set up jumperless the whole time. In the advanced Chipset settings for the DRAM speed, there is no option to set the freq to 333mhz. There is even a warning note telling me to set for ddr 333mhz but my only options are Auto, 200mhz, and 233 Mhz. Also I have no Hyperthreading setting. It sorts doesnt matter anymore, Im taking the board back for the second time, getting my money back and buying an ABIT or ASUS.
Thats too bad since everyone I work with at SONY said MSI makes great boards. Sorry to dissapoint them.

MSI 845 PE Max 2 (PCB 1) Temperature/Voltage

I recently bought an MSI 845 PE Max 2 (PCB 1) mainboard. It runs reliable, but I found out that the temperature of the CPU (INTEL BOXED P2.4 @ 533) gets very high.
I can easily put my hand on the heatsink (which is something that should be difficult @70 degrees).
The other thing I noticed is that my +12 voltage is abnormal (that is what I think). It reaches 11.14 v with 100% CPU utilization. The other voltages are very close, or equal to the standard voltage.
The shop could not give me a maximum voltage margin, but told me that more MSI mainboards (and ASUS too) are having trouble displaying the right temperature.
Should I worry about the voltage and how low can it be before it damages anything and is the temperature sensor issue going to be fixed in the future (bij bios, or drivers for instance)?
Mr. C

Thanks for your reaction.
Where can I find the technical specs of the mainboard. That way, I can maybe find some more on the temperature problem.
I installed the P4 533mhz just like the manual, but it still gets very hot (according to the software).
So I should not worry about damaging anything at 11,14V?

800 mhz proc compatibility with 6580 845 pe max ver.2

i have a 6580 845 pe max board, and was wondering if the 800 mhz processors are compatible with it. i bought the board just before the 865 chipset came out. the 533 mhz processors are now just about the same price as their 800mhz counterparts. i'd rather buy the 800 mhz proc and upgrade my board later. is it possible to scale back the new proc and run it at 533 mhz on the 845pe chipset? i know i cant run it at 800 mhz on my board. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

I know this post is old but I have the same concern but don't want to create a new question. I can only find the 800mhz pent 4 chip to replace my 2.4. 533
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

MSI 845 PE MAX MS 6580

Hello there,
I have the 845 PE MAX board. Here's the problem: I have a total of six usb 2.0 ports..2 on the front panel driven directly off the mainboard, 4 on a pci card (which came with the mainboard. None of the ports seem to work using the previous usb 1.1. All my devices are usb 1.1. Has anyone had this experience or know the fix?
thanks very much, dave

845 PE Max 2 Problem with damaged capacitor

Hi, my system is:
MSI 845 PE MAX 2 SOCKET 478
INTEL PENTIUM 4/ 2.4 NORTHWOOD FSB 533
2X512 MB DDR 333
MSI GEFORCE- AGP X 4 128 MB- G4Ti4200-VTP
SEAGATE ST3200 828A-200 GB
WD WDC ND2500JB-250 GB
XP PRO SP2
The problem is:
The computer case and specifically the DVD is accidentally kicked by a child, the DVD moves and hits the capacitors located to the right of the DDR memory modules. Specifically the capacitor to the right, the last one before the right corner of the motherboard falls off. I tried to reposition the capacitor back in place ( no soldering) but the motherboard does not boot. In fact it seems that there is no power supply. I checked the PSU with a multi-meter and seems to be OK. What is wrong ? Is the motherboard useless ? Any help is welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Was this machine on?!? If it was, your board may well be dead. If it wasn't, you could bring it to a computer repair shop who has someone with good electronic soldering skills to see if they can fix it. But, I don't hold out a lot of hope. If the board gets fixed or you get a new system, secure that drive.

845 PE-Max "NEW" Bios Flash "does it really fix the temp readings?"

So MSI has been having problems with there Temp readings on there boards. So I was surprised to see that they just released a bios update to correct this issue. Of course I couldn't wait to download and flash the bios and see what effect it had. Everything went well, I popped into windows and (I'm testing Intel's stock HSF currently) and my temps dropped drastically????? Now this can't be correct either...
Motherboard: 32c
CPU: 29c
Case 23c
Now remember this is with the retail P4 2.53 HSF. With the new bios flash it shows a cooler temp than my Spark 7. And the Intel is only running at 2400RPM. Before the bios flash with the Intel HSF:
Motherboard: 33c
CPU: 40c
Case 23c

Well ran another test last night. Ran a CPU Burn-In test for 30 Minutes and the temp only hit 45c during the test. Obviously the new BIOS is incorrect. I find it impossible that the retail HSF on my P4 2.53GHz can keep it below 50c under max load. My Tt Spark 7 with Artic Silver II only kept it at 37c idle. I'm reading 28c Idle now using the retail HSF.

MSI 648 MAx Motherboard question regarding AGP Speed

I have recently bought a Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb and installed latest radeon drivers and msi drivers etc.
I have one question. How do I change it from AGP 4X to 8X. When I click on properties and setting, advance, it only shows 4X as max setting. But my motherboard supports 8 Speed and the card is 8 speed so what do I do?
Tried searching forums already but to no avail. Tried looking in BIOS for options but no luck. Any ideas?
Cheers guys

Yup.
I fixed my problem. But now that has brought on a new one.
When I installed the latest driver, it would only let me use AGP 4 speed at most. To proove the newest driver was installed, I did a dxdiag and looked for the agp version and found it. When it is the latest driver installed, it only allows 4 speed. So I had to revert back to a middle driver(ie not the very first one and not the most recent). This then brought up the option of 8speed AGP in my ATI SmartGart panel. I was happy with this. But it is not the latest driver and this is now causing Battlefield Vietnam to crash. Continuously. And experience slowdown etc. Which, lets face it, should not be happening.
SO to sum it up, with the latest driver installed, AGP 4 speed is as high as it can go.
But with a middle driver, i can achieve agp 8 speed but my game crashes with this driver.
And to show just how bad SIS are for updating driver, I have to go into device manager, manually find the .inf file for the latest driver and use this to install the latest driver for it to show up as the latest driver in dxdiag.
So who is at fault here? SIS or MSI? What a piece of crap.
EDIT: Would there be any point in flashing the cmos?

Mpower MAX Raid Question

I just setup my new PC using the MPOWER MAX board and I've got a couple questions about using the hardware raid functions.
First of all here is my current HDD situation.
I have the following installed.
1 - Samsung 830 SSD (Dedicated to the OS)
2 - WD 160GB 7200rpm
1 - WD 1TB 7200rpm
2 - WD 4TB 7200rpm
What I want to do is this. I would like to setup the two 4TB drives in a raid 1, but in doing so I don't want to compromise the speed of the SSD. I noticed in the BIOS that you can select the SATA drives to be either IDE, AHCI, or Raid. It is recommended for my SSD to be set to AHCI for best performance, but if I change the setting to raid then I assume that AHCI would be disabled for the SSD. Is this assumption correct? How would I go about setting this up? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi, and
Hmm, havent seen IDE in years. Anyway, Setting SATA-mode to RAID makes all drives Work in AHCI. After the drive (SSD,HDD,DVD,...) is Choose in RAID-array they work like RAID, others that havent bean choosen in any array still works like AHCI.
Only down thing is that you need to install your OS again or you get blue sceen on Windows start up.
Edit: 1) Have only OS drive in when installing Windows or your Windows start files blows to every drive and after some not os drive fail you cant get in Windows. (That is NICE to troubleshoot )
2) Have newest RAID driver unziped in USB and insall them on screen where you choose your drive for OS that way you dont need to upgrade them after. (If you dont see your OS drive in even after that, then update your SSD FW)
p.s. not sure how optical (like DVD) players works under any RAID :D (I think controller blocks them out not sure as i havent have them in some time)
Great Holidays to you! Cheers Mummy

Pegatron IPMTB-TK motherboard version 1.04 and BIOS question?

Hi,
I bought a refurbished HP Pavilion Elite m9650f, Win 7 on 04-21-2010
and it too has suffered from the crashes, freezes and multiple BSOD
that many people have been complaining about. I have the Pegatron
IPMTB-TK TRUCKEE version 1.04 motherboard.
HP calls it TRUCKEE-UL8E.
Am I looking to replace it with version 1.04 E01 or version 1.05E?
(With much reading on the web about my m9650f problems,
I finally have it maybe 90% stable after replacing the hard drive,
upgrading to BIOS ver 5.29 and replacing all the RAM.)
I know there is a class action suit including the m9650f pending.
http://www.hpelitedesktopsettlement.com/
Will I be able to request a repair for my HP computer?
When will HP let people request a repair?
Also, I currently have BIOS ver. 5.29 and notice that there is a ver. 6.10
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-88852-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
BIOS ver 6.10 improves system support for Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition processors which is what ver 5.29 says it does.
BIOS ver 6.10 also installs HP Vision Diagnostic tool which I don't know anything about.
I don't plan on installing an Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition processor.
Should I upgrade to BIOS ver 6.10 or just leave well enough alone?
Thank you for your time.
This question was solved.

Hi Dashby,
My motherboard is 1.04E01 and it has been very stable. I have not heard or seen anyone with 1.05.
You can put PCI cards other than x16 in the PCI-E x16 slot such as x1 or x4 cards.
Typically what happens if another video were to be install in the second PCI-E x16 is the total 16 lanes of bandwidth would be split between the two slots. You can't run SLI or CrossFire on the truckee motherboard so in my opinion a second video card is a waste. Just use a BIG video card if needed.
You can use PC Wizard and look under Mainboard PCI Express to gain information about the PCI-E slots and the speed that they are running when a card is installed.
The Asus U3S6 expansion card is an interesting piece of technology. hmmmm I wonder if the bios would support a SATA 3 boot device?

VGA Bios questions...

My VGA card is MSI FX5600-TD256.
Here are my questions:
1)Which is the latest Bios version for my card? My current version is 4.31.20.39.00. Is there a newer one? Searching through the web I found another version including this text in the read me file:
Quote
MSI GeForce FX BIOS
Name : GeForce FX 5600 BIOS
Version : 4.31.20.69.00 Ultra : No
2)Is it worth updating the bios? (I have restart problems probably caused by graphics card...)
3)Which is the proccess I have to follow to update it? (Just copy the .rom file in a disk and boot from that disk??)
4)Why in MSI site there are no VGA Bios files?
5)How do I back up my current VGA bios version?
Thanks in advance...

If MSI live Update finds no BIOS upgrade then there is no BIOS upgrade available. Even if there is one available, I don't recommend updating VGA BIOS unless there is a known documented issue relating to your problem. As far as I know there is no issue currently. I have not come across this issue in these forums either.
I don't have any answers to your restart problem since you did not provide any details of this restart problem. I cannot guarantee I would even if you did, but do so anyway.
I never update VGA BIOS's so I can't help you on backing up your current VGA BIOS. Someone else will have to step in for that.
The MSI site doesn't archive VGA BIOS files for the public. MSI only updates the original VGA BIOS from nVidia in circumstances such as when they decide to use a different RAM package than specified from nVidia spec. Oftentimes I see users reporting that MSI Live Update hosed their VGA BIOS after an update and in a few circumstances I have been able to request the original BIOS file.
Again, it's not worth updating the VGA BIOS as they get it right the first time and they hardly ever deviate from the original nVidia BIOS unless a certain RAM package is used for say an OEM version of the card or a performance version where they may use a faster package etc.
I recommend looking elsewhere for your restart problem.

Another MAX() function question...

Help was provided earlier for a question I had regarding use of the MAX function... This also pertains to that. I have two tables, employee and movie. I want to find the name of the employee who has entered the most amount of movies into our database. The query I have come up with so far (it's a little messy) is:
SQL> select firstname, max(m) from (select firstname, count(enteredby) m from em
ployee, movie where enteredby = id group by firstname) group by firstname;
FIRSTNAME MAX(M)
Peter 6
Swanson 5
Kevin 7
Beverly 3
So I have this table returned, now in this case I want to be able to select from this subquery the first name "Kevin", since he has entered in the most movies. In my head this seems so easy, "Grab the firstname of the person whose max(m) is the largest", but I am just having trouble getting this thought translated into a proper query!

You can always do
SELECT firstname
FROM (SELECT firstname, RANK() OVER (ORDER BY max_m) rnk
          FROM (<<your query>>))
WHERE rnk = 1Note that you'll need to alias the MAX(m) result first. You could also do
SELECT firstname
FROM (
SELECT firstname, RANK() OVER( ORDER BY cnt) rnk
FROM (SELECT firstname, COUNT(enteredby) cnt
          FROM employee e, movie m
        WHERE enteredby = id
        GROUP BY firstname)
WHERE rnk = 1From a style standpoint, I would suggest that you get in the habit of aliasing your tables in your FROM clause and putting that alias on every column name to make it clear which table a particular column was selected from.
I would also suggest that you come up with a column naming convention that caused the same value to be named the same (or similar) thing in different tables. Joining an ID column from one table to an ENTEREDBY, for example, would be a non-obvious bit of logic. It probably makes more sense to have an EMPLOYEE_ID and an ENTERED_EMPLOYEE_ID column.

P67A GD55 Rev B - Upgrade Bios Question

To be honest, this post supposed to be a private message to Svet, but turned out a newbie like me who just joining the forum is not allowed to send PM...so apology if this questions are being asked so many times already:
Dear svet,
Really need your help in clarifying something, to make it short here are my questions:
First here are my PC Specifications:
MSI P67A-GD55 rev B
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB XMP Enabled
PSU Corsair X750W
Intel Sandy Bridge i5 2500k
OS Windows 7 x64
1. I have upgraded my GD55 rev B bios to the latest bios available here: msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD55--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS
which foolishy I didn't read the warn that it will not work proeperly for Sandy Bridge
2. The bios update/flash was a success, now I have the ver II click bios, completely different with the first version. With this bios I managed to OC to my previous OC speed (4.2GHz in OC Setting by changing it into 42 multiplier and set the Vcore to 1.35)
3. The reason that I updated my bios in the first time was I often experience 0x50 error while gaming certain games, and I thought upgrading bios is one of the solutions for it (after trying to change my RAM, changing my GPU, and my PSU to no avail)
4. Then I stumble to this post of yours: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164135.0
with some fix in the 434 version states like this: "05.Fix system reset on 0x55 issue when use Sandy Bridge G440 CPU and install two 4G memory."
I am completely not sure whether this is related to my 0x50 BSOD or not, but really hoping that it is.
So my question is, should I upgrade/downgrade to your first post BIOS? (E7681IMS.434) or should I upgrade/downgrade to the latest beta 439 Bios (E7681IMSv439.rar) as the fix in 434 are included in 439?)
Thank you so much in advance for any help...
Regards,

While waiting for Svet to respond, I will tell you that BSOD 050 is not enough DRAM V. being applied. It's rather a shame you didn't open a thread in the regular part of the forum, or the OC section of the forum asking for assistance 'before' flashing an Ivy support UEFI/BIOS.
That CPU is most likely capable of OC'ing to 42X easily on Auto CPU voltage while maintaining all the power saving features. VDroop set to Low or 100% depending on the available settings.
What is X.M.P. setting the DRAM V. at? If 1.50v's, to solve your BSOD, probably would have just required raising the DRAM V. to about 1.575v's or maybe even less manually. Rather than using X.M.P., the DRAM Frequency setting could have been changed manually to 1600.
Yes, all newer final or Beta versions will have previous release improvements incorporated.
Thank you for the reply...forget to delete the "dear Svet" part as it was copied from once private message intended
To be honest, I see myself rather as a silent reader than an active poster...so I would really try to avoid posting due to English isn't my first language....if that even make sense...
I think I have read quite a lot of 0x50 BSOD (CTD errors to be exact) in other forums to...have tried what people had posted as solutions for them...and still to no avail, hence my foolish and rushed attempt in flashing the bios...please do mind that the current bios is quite stable in my opinion, despite the same BSOD (CTD) in the certain game I have mentioned in my first post...
I have followed OC guide and benchmark in other forum which show each of its poster their OC settings and result (specifically i5 2500k series), and I have tried around 1 week to safely say that my unfortunate chip can only handly a stable 24/7 4.2GHz in that volt...i'm so lucky
and for XMP volt, I have no idea to be honest, I just enable it in the bios, will really look at it later on...
tl'dr thank you so much for the new insight of how to solve the 0x50! really appreciate it....If i can remember correctly, I have tried to use the default DRAM setting (without using XMP enabled) and still got the 0x50 CTD....but trying your suggestion is still a worth a try...will try this when I get home...thank you!

865ps neo2 pfs another bios question, just to be realy sure.

hi all,
maybe it's me but after reading several posts i guess it's not.
i have the above mentioned mainboard (6728 rev. 2) and when trying to find a suitable bios i stumble on the "bios version 3.0 cannot be used on 6728 board" warning.
since they say that with almost all 3.* biosses i figured i can't use that range of biosses only to find out that my current bios is 3.4 whitch seems non existant somehow?.
to shorten all this a bit, bios 3.A IS the right bios for me right?
what was a litle wierd as wel is, i treid the live update prog from msi and it says i have the latest bios.
last "question", who in gods name is responsible for such logic defying work in the download section, sack the dude/gall
tnx in advance y'all.

tnx guy(s)
well, i think (!) my cpu readings are a bit high for starters (not sure tho) and well, it would be nice if it saw my 250 gig hd as well, besides, if there ain't nothing to tweak (read, possibility to bugger up ), why did i bother getting me this board in the first place
had me a msi oem board before and it was working fine but wanted one where i could fidle with a bit so here goes nothing.
i promise not to post again if i mess up the flash ok?
ps: the only way to have a second revision of a board would be to have a first one so that they share the same model number, i get.
what i don't get is, why don't they refere to it as such...
