845E Max motherboard front usb crashing in windows xp

Were running an 845emax based system using a p4 2.6 with a Antec easyusb 2.0 plugged in to the front of a desktop case. We went in to the bios and told it to recognize 6 usb slots and played with the legacy setting. Everytime we plug in a usb 2.0 hard drive in to the front or d-bracket usb slots the system hangs but if we plug it in to the back usb it works fine. Is anybody else having this problem or does anybody else have any idea how to solve it? :O

Funny but I am having a similar problem with a Sandisk USB 2.0 CF Card reader. If I plug it in the front the system hangs but from the back (motherboard not d-bracket) it works. Other USB (1.1) devices work off this front hub.
I am using a Lian Li case with USB 2.0 jacks in the front. On my other PC, same Lian Li case but with an Asus A7N8X motherboard, plugging the CF reader from the front case hub works fine.
So it does not look like a problem with the card reader in my case. What BIOS version are you using?

Application invoked from portable space (USB) Crashed on windows 8.1 OS

Hello ,
I have an application available on portable USB Drive (Memory present on external controller ), I can open this application on PC when USB is connected to PC.
USB will act like mass storage device ,and application code is kept inside mass storage device .
when this application is evoked using binary file , it will send request (req.txt) to another controller through HTTP server and controller will send response back response (RES.txt) (Textfile format)
when RES.txt file will come on Portable drive , IT WILL GET CORRUPT . and application will crash.
i did Recovery and log is as follow :
C:\Users\Bino>chkdsk F:/r
The type of the file system is FAT.
Volume Serial Number is 0123-4567

This works fine with windows 7 and 8 OS.
please guide me about the problem.

Thank you for the Replay,
I performed steps provided by you , but it did not help.
on other hand, i have collected some more data regarding
this issue.
1. went to SAFE Mode and tried to run the application from USB
2. got Exception "The instruction at 0x00407038 referenced memory at 0x00000078. The memory could not be read"
some more info on setup :
we have a micro controller on board, some part of memory (present on board) is used to keep application and server. we can open this memory via USB connection to PC. then we can see all files present at this memory on PC (behaves like externally connected
USB Drive) .
When we start this application . it will start the server . server will send 'request file' to controller soft. (this part is working fine), and controller will send back response , as soon as response file(RSP.txt) will appear in USB drive it will get corrupted
.(here RSP.txt file is present in controller USB decided memory but to open this we are using PC RAM). crashing of RSP.txt file will crash whole application. This RSP File is of FAT Type.
i have copied application in another external drive and tried to RUN application. it will not crash . but USB can not receive the "RSP.txt" (as it is not in communication with controller soft). and problem is in response file.

Front USB Ports NOT Working

Really need help from the experts here ------ HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1 Desktop Model: H2M46AA (has Joshua mainboard with Intel H61 Chipset) Hard drive crashed and have no original drivers. Did clean install of Win7 SP1 Home Premium. All OK except Other Devices, Universal Serial bus (USB) Controller. Driver cannot be found. After the Win7 install, installed an ethernet driver and then from HP website installed the Original Chipset files. All drivers OK except the above which apparently controls the front 2 USB ports which didn't work. Next, installed all updates provided by Windows Update. Front USB ports still inoperative. They worked before the new Win7. After much research, inoperable front USB ports appears to be a common problem, but none of the provided solutions help (check cables, power down completely, Intel Driver Update Utility, etc.). On my system, the first of 4 Hardware IDs for this device show as: PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_8241&SUBSYS_2ADA103C&REV_02. According to pcidatabase.com, this is identified as: "Texas Instruments USB 3.0 XHCI Host Controller", and thus a possible the problem. The ports are, I believe, USB 2.0 and not 3.0 according to Joshua documentation (http://www.foxconnchannel.com/ProductDetail.aspx?T=motherboard&U=en-us0000525 Also, review of "\windows\inf\setupapi.dev.log" shows there are no files on the drive associated with the above Hardware ID because they cannot be found during driver installation. So question: How can I get these USB ports working -- have installed every recommended HP update for this system. I'm stumped!

You're right, it's just an update of the driver but I think it is specified, you can see theTechnical Reference: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp70501-71000/sp70786.html TITLE: Texas Instruments USB Controller Driver Update

RESOLUTION: GNB MAX and Radeon 9700 Crashes

I had various lock-ups, crashes and "Windows detected and recovered from a device failure" error messages with my GNB MAX motherboard and Radeon 9700 and they are now fixed.
I was able to receive a beta version of an upcoming set of drivers from ATI and they did the trick!!
Just wanted to give you all some hope.
Hang in there!

Oops, I spoke too soon. I think FastWrites is on (I remember turning it off before on previous drivers and noticing a big slow down that is not present now) but there isn't a SmartGart tab appearing in my ATI control panel any more. I checked Advanced - Options - Details and yes, 8X is on.
How can I verify that FastWrites is on without the SmartGart tab?

Front USB Ports

I'm hoping someone might be able to help.
I have an MSI 945P Platinum motherboard with an Aspire X-Navigator case. Running Windows XP. My back USB ports work fine with no problems.
But if I plug anything into the front USB ports, the system freezes. I've checked the connections for both USB1 and USB2 - there is no 10th wire or USBOC connected. But the system still freezes every time I connect anything. Is there anything else I can try, or do I just forget about it & use the back ports? Can anyone help? Thanks.....

okay, i looked again at the usb header
and there was a wire connected to pin 10
so i cut it
started up windows, and amazingly, my front usb ports are now working
i keep plugging in & disconnecting devices - everything i plug in the front ports now work
thanks

Archlinux. On QEMU. On your USB. On Windows

- GOAL
Running ArchLinux 2009.02 on an USB Drive in Windows. Slow? Perhaps. Personally, I think it is actually pretty fast. Though
I must admit that I don't use funky things like X-windows (KDE, Gnome or something else), it was still pretty fast for a
complete OS running from an USB stick within(!) another OS.
So why would you want to do this? It's quite simple, actually. For me, the problem was that I always had to use Windows (XP)
at my work and wouldn't be able to boot into Arch there using a LiveCD or USB, thus being unable to use all my applications.
Perhaps you ARE able to boot into Linux at your work, but still, it can become quite frustrating to have to boot into another
Operating System all the time. With this, you don't have to do that anymore, you can run all your Linux applications IN
Windows!
- REQUIREMENTS
- Download QEMU 0.9.0 for Windows
- Download ArchLinux 2009.02 (later versions will probably work, but I used this version)
- An empty CD
- An USB drive of at least 4GiB
- GETTING ARCH
The first thing you should do once you have downloaded ArchLinux (a task that could take a while, depending largely on the
speed of your internet connection,) is to burn it to a CD. Perhaps it's different with you, but for me, QEMU wasn't able to
use the CD-image of ArchLinux properly without it being burned to a CD and being in the real CD-drive. Yes, I know this sucks,
because this means the installation of ArchLinux on your USB drive is going to take even MORE time, but I'm afraid it won't
work otherwise. (It didn't work with me, at least, perhaps it is different if you are using a different version of Arch, feel
free to contact me if this is the case.)
- SETTING UP QEMU
Once you have downloaded and unzipped QEMU, you have to create a disk image using qemu-img.exe. Fire up a terminal, and run
"qemu-img.exe create harddisk.img 4000M". This will probably take some time. (Assuming you are doing this on your USB drive,
if you're not, you still have to copy the file to your USB drive someday, so don't think you've bypassed the test of patience!)
When it's done, you will have a nice raw image file of 4000 Megabytes without any data in your folder, we are going to need
this later.
Now, to be able to boot the ArchLinux CD in QEMU, we have to modify the qemu-win.bat file a bit. Open the file, remove all
lines, and then write this: "qemu.exe -L . -m 512 -boot d -cdrom /dev/cdrom -hda harddisk.img" Now if you run this batch file,
it will start QEMU, allocate a maximum of 512MB RAM to the application (use less if you don't have that many, but I recommend
using as much as possible, since you don't want it to run TOO slow), boot from CDROM (-boot d) and use the /dev/cdrom to
locate the CDROM image, which should be your (first) CD/DVD-player. The -hda harddisk.img means it will use the file
harddisk.img as a hard disk drive (duh) which we are going to use to install Arch on. To go on, put the ArchLinux CD in your
CD/DVD-player, and run the batch file.
- INSTALLING ARCH
Installing ArchLinux is pretty straightforward, all you have to do is follow the instructions on the screen. There are a few
points you should keep in mind when installing ArchLinux on an USB drive, though.
- Don't create too many partitions! When using the 'auto-partitioner', Arch wants you to create seperate partitions for the
/ and the /home folder, I would not recommend doing this if you haven't created a harddisk image of at least 8000M. Because,
quite simply, otherwise you have to distribute the space (just 4000M) between / and /home, and it can be quite difficult to
allocate the right amount of space. Believe me, it IS a problem if you run out of space someday. You can't just create a
bigger harddisk.img file. (Well, technically you can, but that would be a little bit.. difficult for most people.)
- Don't select too many packages. Assuming you know what you're doing, try to deselect as much as possible (without screwing
up the whole thing, of course) for a very simple reason, you don't have that much space on a simple USB drive.
- Of course, you don't have to care at all about the above pointers if you have a very large USB drive. Very large here
meaning anything larger than 16GB, so yes, that IS pretty large in my opinion.
- SETTING UP QEMU, AGAIN
So you've installed Arch on your harddisk image, huh? Well done! In any case, we can't use the qemu-win.bat file anymore,
since we don't want to boot using the CD/DVD-player again. I recommend creating a new batch file in the QEMU folder,
(call it 'arch-hd.bat', or something like that,) and put the following line into it: "qemu.exe -L . -m 512 -boot c -hda
harddisk.img", the only thing that is changed is that we don't use the CD/DVD-player anymore, and that we changed the
it to -boot c which means it will boot from the harddisk image. (Actually isn't so difficult now, is it?)
- FINAL REMARKS
Now you're ready to go! You've installed ArchLinux on a Virtual Machine on your USB drive, so now the fun can start! One more
thing that I consider VERY important to know is how to mount your physical hard disk in Arch (in QEMU). Knowing this can make
it extremety-much easier to install things on Arch, since you can then simply 'download' the packages from your physical
hard drive.
To use your physical hard drive in QEMU, add "-hdb \\.\PhysicalDrive0" to the batch-file (arch-hd.bat), this line will assign
your first physical hard drive to /dev/hdb (or /dev/sdb) in Arch. Remember that you still have to mount it! (Someting that can
be done by writing "mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/" in the terminal. Assuming your first hard drive uses the NTFS-format, and
the main partitions is /dev/hdb1, this should put all files and filders in /mnt/. It is possible that your partition is called
/dev/sdb1, in that case simply replace hdb1 with sdb1.)
Please keep in mind that there are many, many more parameters you can use in QEMU, so reading the documentation will probably
be a very good thing. You never know, you MIGHT even learn something!
- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. When configuring the system in the ArchLinux installer, it just stopped doing anything when it was saving the configuration
files! Did it somehow crash?
A. No, this is normal. For some reason (called 'writing speed'), this just takes time. Much time. Lots of time. This is the real
test of patience.
Q. How do I get support for sound/video card/networking/etc. in QEMU?
A. Read the documentation!
Q. Help! QEMU crashed when I tried to run the .bat file!
A. Check whether you are using the exact same .bat file as given in the instructions. If it still doesn't work, contact me and
I will try to solve your problem if you provide me with enough information about it. (So sending me a message containing
something like "Help! QEMU doesn't work on my PC!" will probably not get you much of a useful response.)

thank you, quite useful. btw i had to use qemu 0.9.0 for installation - somehow i was unable to make 1.5.50 boot (from neither iso nor physical cdrom). but then i had to switch back to the newer version because i was getting a lot of libata2 exception messages on console. also, i had to update UUID for some reason in grub.cfg. performancewise it's not very fast but it fits my needs. i am using the following command to start my qemu archbox: qemu-system-i386.exe -boot c -hda harddisk.img -net nic,model=virtio -net user -redir tcp:5555::22 and then i can connect using putty on my local port 5555. the good thing about this is that you really don't need admin rights.

MSI Why No HT Support On 845e Max Rev1

Please can someone from MSI tell me if there is anyway to update my 845E Max 6566 MB to utilise Hyper Threading. I have the latest Bios Revision 5.9.
In the specs on this website it says that the 845E Max DOES support HT. Yet mine does not have a Bios menu for it.
Is there any way to enable HT short of buying a new MB (which I do not really want to do as I though my current one should support HT).
TIA

http://www.msi.com.tw/program/search/ser/SerConProRes.php?pro=1&chp=6
Link to MSI site with 845E chipset. Please confirm which one you have.
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=426
This link is to supported CPU's (Sorry 800FSB not supported)
HyperThreading is ONLY supported under the XP range of Windows......
Has for HARDWARE mods..... be careful!!!!
There is some input from me.........also check the Overclockers section of MSI Forum.....resources there!!!

[VIA] Add warning message when installing wrong front USB cable

I've just updated the BIOS on my MS6390 motherboard from 1.4 to 1.8 and on boot up I now get the message Warning - Wrong front USB cable (or words to that efftect). I disconnect the front USB cable on the mother board and the message goes away. The front USB ports worked fine on version 1.4. I have checked the cable and reseated and everthing looks OK. Can any of you techie types help ?
Thanks

Thanks for the replies folks.
I upgraded bios as I was blue screening a lot in XP. That problem seems to have cleared but I now have the USB fault. The front USB cable came with the case and is in a block with 9 pins and one blank. WIll I have to get a new cable or is there an adapter I could use.

How to communicate with HID USB device under windows XP with Labview

I have designed a EZ-USB FX2 device and I need to communicate with LabVIEW. I mean I just want to send and receive data. I don’t know how to achieve this goal.Someone have advised me to design a HID device,then use VISA Driver Development Wizards to generate driver(inf file).SO I defined it to a hid device .However when I connect my hid device to the computer, it will automatically be recognized as HID compliance device. I can’t to install the inf file driver. I wondered whether all HID devices will be acquiescently installed the drivers contained in the windows rather than use the inf file driver generated by VISA Driver Development Wizards? If so，what should I do next to communicate with HID USB device under windows XP with Labview? HOPE TO GET HELP!
KIVI

Hi,
I am working on a project using PIC18F4550 MCU and USB.
I would need to send and receive data from the MCU thru USB. I have uninstaled the HID and created a new NI-VISA driver for my MCU. this worked fine, and it did showed up in MAX
Unfortunately I was not able to receive data from the MCU, Just sending!
I thought to use HID.DLL but the way I need to use the functions inside the HID DLL is simply too much for me, I am not a PC programmer.
There is any kind of VI that is able to use HID.DLL to comunicate with external devices conected to PC thru USB?
Please Help

Mac Pro front USB cable

I have an original Mac Pro and it is missing the cable that connects the front USB to the motherboard. It looks like I can just use a standard SATA cable. Can I do this, or does this have a special pinout?

You can go here and get the service manual for the 1,1 Mac Pro. There's a table on P142 with a description and part number for the cable.

845E Max-L does not see 5 1/4 in. floppy drive

My first 845E Max-L mb had no problems with my Teac FD-505 combo (3 1/2 in. + 5 1/4 in.) floppy drive. I was able to boot to DOS on the 3 1/2 in. drive and access the 5 1/4 in. drive normally. However, the first board developed a serious problem and was replaced by the vendor.
The new board is unable to view the 5 1/4 in. drive when booted to DOS on the 3 1/2 in. drive. Both drives are correctly configured in the BIOS and both are visible on the CMOS summary page.
When I boot into any O/S, both drives are visible in My Computer and both are accessible. However, if the PC is put into S3 standby (suspend-to-RAM) and then resumed, the 5 1/4 in. drive can no longer be accessed and Windows reports an I/O error.
I removed the Teac combo drive, installed an individual 5 1/4 in. drive, configured it in the BIOS and it was duly identified on the CMOS screen. With a system disk in the drive, the system was booted. It went through a floppy seek, the floppy drive access light turned on, and then the floppy was ignored as the boot continued off the hard drive.
I tried downgrading the MSI BIOS from ver. 5.7 to ver. 5.5, but that didn't eliminate the problem. (The BIOS was, of course, reset using the JBAT1 jumper.) I tried different floppy cables, to no avail.
The Teac combo floppy and the single 5 1/4 in. drive work normally on another non-MSI mb.
How can I get the 5 1/4 in. drive to work correctly and, once in Windows, after resuming from standby? Is use of 5 1/4 in. drives a known problem with this mb? If not, could the problem be due to a bad fd controller?

Hi, Assaf.
Thanks for your response.
FOA, I no longer have the first board, so I don't know its PCB revision.
As for the new board, how do I see its PCB revision? Is it on the board somewhere? If so, where?
regards, Andy

No Video Card Works - 845E-Max

I purchase a new 845E-Max several years ago, and could not find a video card to work on this board. I gave up and put the board in storage until recently (hate to discard a new board). when I place a video card in the board it will not start. when the card is partly removed from the agp slot the board powers up, place card into board it shuts down.
I have tried MSI G4 Ti4200, MSI Ti4400, MSI FX5200, Jaton 3DForce TNT2 4x AGP card. I can remember trying some ATI cards too. I was hoping to put this board together for the holidays and here i am with the age old problem of "no video card works" I know this is a AGP 4X board - Any suggestions ? ? ?
Thanks - Hap

hi I suggest you take the board out of your chassis, assemble it on your desk, then try to slot in your display card. It could be due to your chassis and the motherboard doesn't fit well so whenever you fully slot in your display card, it just couldn't fit in well.
