845PE max-2 + 3.06 P4 no HT ?

Hi,
According to previous posts i do comply with all requirements for getting HT to work, but it simply does not show up in the BIOS.
Specs :
3.06 Ghz P4
845PE-MAX2
DDR333 1024MB
As far as my simple brain can get me, i presumed that this HT-option should pop up in the bios, regardless of the OS installed (win2K sp4). I did get the idea posted before that HT-support is doubtfull in win2K, but at least the option of enabling it in the bios would be nice ...
help would be most welcome here

Well Since that BIOS release Date is in 11-02, it Precludes the Release of the 3.06 HT-P-4, so I think that you might be out of luck?....But I have read were other People have used a BIOS to Get HT to Be Enabled with Your Exact Board, And I am Positive about this ...And this is why I say this>>  http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=366  ...I Would Try to Use "Live-Update-3" and see where that Brings You, Because Like I said, I am Positive that someone with this EXACT BOARD Found a BIOS that let Enable HT ..And I bet this is the BIOS that Has the HT Microcode written into it >> http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=364    .But Run "Live-Update-3" anyway.Something is Really Fishey about the Fact that for the 845PE-Max2, that there is Only 2 BIOS Revisions, and the Rest of the Boards in this "Class" have 5 or 6, or More ................Sean REILLY875

  • 845PE Max won't detect X800 AIW

    I'm having an issue with my old 845PE Max mobo. I've had the Radeon X800 All-In-Wonder work before on this mobo, but after a recent format the card just won't budge! The mobo detected the card as a plug & play gfx card and everything went smooth, but after the recent format things didn't go as smooth.
    When I boot the computer with the Rad now, XP doesn't detect it as a plug & play card and the annoying vgasave is initiated. I've read and tried several fixes. Installed the newest INF update with the MSI Update Tool (which didn't do the trick), tried the INF update from Intel and finally booting XP by hitting F8 and running VGA Mode, none of which worked.
    What I don't get is why the card worked fine before the format, but not after?!
    Probably time for me to get out from under my rock and get a new rig, but I'm not willing to give up on this one quite yet. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Fischer
    PS: Before you ask, I've got SP2, Framework 2.0 and the whole nine yards in XP updates.

    Thanks for the input. I'll try, but if it doesn't work I'll just plug in a dated Nvidia card and pass the rig on. I'm crawling out under the rock and getting a new mobo+chip+ram+pci express gfx, and design a new rig. :D
    To reflect on this mobo: I've had this mobo since it came out, quite a few years ago, together with some cheap 512 sticks and a Intel P4 2.4 Ghz which I've been able to squeeze 3.1 Ghz out of with a later dual rad watercooling solution, and it's been running like this for years without a glitch. So, I think it's safe to say that I got more then my moneys worth. Salute!
    Thanks for the help, both of you.
    Regards,
    Fischer

  • 845pe max 2 and floppy drive probs

    I've got a 845pe max 2 fisr mobo
    My floppy drives' LED is continuously illuminated when I turn on.
    Windows 98se says it's an NEC floppy drive even though I didn't insert any drivers for it or anything. When I put a floppy disk in to it the drive can't read and a message in windows indicates that there is no disk inserted.
    The thing is the drive worked when I first set up my system but that is the one and only time. I suppose it's a positive thing that the LED works.
    Any ideas anyone?

    Don't worry, it won't hurt your motherboard.  It definitely sounds like that's the problem (floppy cabble upside down).  Simply spin it around, and it should fix your problem (the "key" as you put it is facing down on my floppy drive).  
    If that doesn't fix the problem, try using a different cable.

  • 845PE Max no boot

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I recently experienced a power surge and subsequently noticed my system had been taken down.  Upon reboot, I noticed no video signal to monitor but system seemed to be running/fans spinning.  After sub'ing out new monitor, noticed that diagnostic led's indicating that RAM check in boot sequence was where system was hung.  Swapped out with known good DDR board, no change...tried reseting CMOS, no change...is there a chance that the motherboard is fried, part of the power supply toasted,  what else??  Any help...thanks again.
    845PE Max MB
    WD 80G

    Open the power supply, see any burnt electronics ?
    If it's still alive clear the CMOS and try again.

  • 845PE MAX-FIR Gigabit Lan Prob

    I just got 845PE MAX-FIR last week.
    But I have prob with Gigabit Lan controller. Windows(2k) detects it alright and says it works ok; however, it can't detect lan cable if I insert it.
    First, I thought it was prob with lan cable, so I installed old realtek lan card. And it works fine with old lan card.
    So I send the board for repair and got a new board. BUT! it still won't detect if the lan cable is inserted. What should I do? It's not prob with ethernet controller(since it looks working fine under windows(98 & 2000) and not the prob with lan cable. Does Gigabite lan uses different lan cable? I heard it's not...then what is the problem? HELP!

    I believe you require Catergory 6 Cabling, as we where studying this the other day in class :D

  • 845PE Max (6580 v.2.0) and Maxtor DiamondMax 9 Plus - Problem!

    Hi!
    My mobo (845PE Max - MS 6580 v.2.0) detecting my hard disk (Maxtor DiamondMax 9 Plus 80GB ATA133 7200rpm) as the drive working in UltraDMA/2 mode (ATA33). What is wrong? How can I set it to work in mode UltraDMA/5 (ATA100)???
    Please, help me as quick as possible.
    Best regards
    Martin "Kenickie"

    System: MS Windows XP Pro. No Service Pack 1 installed yet.
    But it doesn't matter.
    Disk is recognized as UDMA/2 by BIOS!!! I upgraded BIOS to newest (3.40) but it didn't help.
    This Maxtor is connected as Primary Master, and there is a CD-Recorder (TEAC CD-W516EB) on the same cable as Primary Slave. Teac is also recognized as UDMA/2. At the secondary Controller I have CD-ROM Drive (TEAC x32).

  • Problems installing windows2k pro on a 845PE max

    hi..
    i've recently bought 2 sets of msi 845pe max motherboards and started installing one of them. it was okie... then i started installing the other one but i can't seem to complete copying the files from the cd to the comp and will prompt me telling me that a file cannot be copied over. so windows cannot start up. i swopped components and it didn't work. so finally i tried swopping IDE cables and it worked perfectly..... so i've got a few spare IDE cables and used them and now my working system cannot work! is there a benchmark for IDE cables or wat seems to be the problem?

    I have read elsewhere on the Internet that windows 8 is supported on bootcamp and that it works.
    Sometimes yes, often no, but it is unsupported officially so you'll have to live with it.

  • Big Problems w/ 845PE Max-L

    Installed today,
    P4 2.2
    M/B MSI 845PE Max-L
    G/F ti4600
    512. samsung PC2700
    Upon startup,
    I get power it seems to everything but, I have a blank screen and i hear 1 beep followed by 8 beeps. It wont go into bios or anything. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ed

    Ok...
    Unplug all the IDE cables and re-attach JUST the HD cable from the MB to the HD making sure the connectors are on securely and are lined up with the connectors at the back of the hard drive fully.
    If that boots to bios screen ok then shutdown again and re-attach JUST the floppy connector (again making sure it securely fitted to both MB and to the back of the floppy) then boot back to the bios screen again to check that its ok with the 2nd cable fitted, then shut down and re-attach the CD-ROM cable... again making 100% sure that all the IDE cables are attached correctly and securely both to the MB and to all components.
    Bootup again to BIOS and see if everything is as it should be... (HD, floppy and CDROM all detected properly now?)
    Now in the BIOS use auto-detect wherever needed to detect the size of the HD etc (im unfamiliar with your BIOS so the auto detect may not be required but try it anyway) save and exit the BIOS.
    Spend a little time attaching the cables to make sure they are ALL attached perfectly... it is very easy to miss align them if you are keen to get the PC up and running.

  • 845PE Max Problems :(

    Hi,
    I just installed the new 845PE Max 6580 motherboard.
    My system specs are
    3.06 ghz Pentium 4
    512 MB PC2100 DDR SDRAM
    Radeon 9700 pro with latest 3.1 catalyst drivers
    SoundBlaster Live 5.1
    DirectX 9.0
    Windows XP
    The problem is that the system randomly hangs without any bsod or any error. I cant hit the reset switch or power it off from the front. Only way to turn off the system is by switching off the button on the power supply at the back.
    Any kind directx application (game or benchmark) hangs, be it 8 or 9. I thought it was as a result of directx 9.0 but it hung on 8.0 as well.
    Random hangs also occur while playing any audio. Another thing is when i power up after the system after it crashed my logitech cordless mouse stops responding unless i swap the usb slot at the back.
    I've updated the bios as well as the usb 2.0 drivers off the website but still no luck.

    got the latest intel inf from MSI website. turned off hyperthreading as well in the BIOS.
    the power supply came with the case i bought a week back. brand new... http://shop.store.yahoo.com/svcompucycle/silverchenming.html
    still getting these random freezes. freezes on me while listening to music on winamp, running IE, watching any movie on windows media player and games based on the unreal and like engines. somehow games like nba, fifa work fine.
    also i made sure the radeon power supply not being shared by any device. the PCI slot below the radeon is empty as well.
    i bought the motherboard from newegg.com and the worst part is apparently i cant RMA it back!
    its driving me nuts. please there's gotta be a way to fix this. i'm sure some people are running the MSI 845PE with the radeon 9700 pro without any problems.
    god..its going to drive me nuts if i'm going to shell out $120+ more to buy a new motherboard if it comes down to this.

  • 845PE Max SPDIF AUDIO out problem

    Hi there,
    1. I've got 845PE Max MB; C1,7GHz; 256DDR; W98SE.
    I haven't got "S" bracket (I can't buy one), but I want to use digital SPDIF out.
    I connect CINCH socket to pin #3 of JSP1 [SPDIF out] connector. And I have sound output via it to my amplifier (I can hear proper sound (analog) from movies and windows sounds).
    The problem is, that when I open "Sound manager" from system tray & I see  "AC97 Audio Config" Window & I check SPEAKER CONFIG tab -> I can't see "ENABLE SPDIF OUTPUT" check box to choose digital output.
    Funny thing is, that some time ago I had digital sound (dolby digital) when I played some movie, but now I don't have it on the same movie.
    2. Neither I don't have MSI DVD application on CDROM attached to the MB. Can I download it from some place ? Maybe it can help to switch SPDIF on ?
    Looking forward for advice,
    Regards,
    M@rek

    Unfortunatley i threw out my pc-speakers when i moved last but i could lend a pair to test. But i dont think it would change since i did put in a SB live sound card and put the same cord in that to the surround system and it worked perfeclty first try...
    So my assumption here is that there is no error in the connection to the surround system but rather a error in the onboard ..if its a severd connection or a driver issue im cant tell.. but since i tested all driver as of 2 weeks ago i could possibly find. even went to c-medias homepage and downloaded thier latest drivers.. and no luck..

  • 845PE Max Series overclocking question.

    I have the 845PE Max Series motherboard with 1.7 Pentium 4 CPU and 1 gig of ram, 128mb AGP card.
    Anyways, I would like to try overclocking it, I never really did it, I understand the basic foundemantals of it,
    but what would be a good safe limit to raise the clock speed from 1.7 to 2 ?
    will I see any significant increases ?
    Any recommendations?

    The biggest thing to keep in mind when overclocking is not all hardware is the same. Somebody with your same processor may be able to overclock it to 2.7GHz where you might be limited to 2.2GHz. And when you are overclocking keep in mind it will overclock your memory too, so if it is not high quality your overclock may not be stable. With overclocking the only science is starting small, testing, then increase. Make sure you keep an eye on your temps. I would not want to see a processor go above 55C when under load.
    Good Luck

  • HELP !!!! ATI9700 Pro + 845PE Max = problem

    Help anyone.. pls tell me what happen !!!!!!!!!!!!!
    just got a new 845PE Max m/b + ATI9700 Pro. seem ok when boot up to WinXP.  :]
    BUT !!! when try to run my directx game the screen went rubbish... try with dxdiag .. same thing happen.. Directx 3D test show distorted screen... Only Direct3D test.. direct draw is ok
    however if I try with Nvidia Ti 4400 ... everything is OK
    why??? anyone encounter the same problem?? tell me what should I do??.. so sad buying the exp$$$$ ATI9700 pro.. but cannot play game with 845PE Max
       ?(  X(

    ok.. I found out the cause to this FAULT
    it is the PS.. cos' the PS 3.3V is faulty.. only can o/p 2.8V that's why those graphic card like ATI 9700 Pro that require ext power to the card cannot work.. (hence GeForce 2 and 4 Ti 4400 can work, cos' they dun require ext power)
    thank for all...

    does anyone else uses this board?
    i just wanna know if this board can support AGP 8x graphic cards
    can anyone tell me? 

    hello, nope its support maximum AGP 4x. but good news is that you can use any AGP 8x VGA on it without almost any limitation. differents is quite little. only few visual increament. nothink performance related.

    The operating system will not complete loading. Upgrading from Athlon 950 on TYAN motherboard. Any ideas please !!!!
    Kevin

    I would also recommend a clean install.  From experience I can say this about Windows XP-  When upgrading a motherboard under XP's nose, it helps if they are all of similar chipset configuration (e.g. via to via, intel to intel, etc).  Upgrading from the P2  to the K62 to the Athlon 950 probably maintained a Via line of chipsets, and since all Via drivers are unified, there was no issue. Now with the introduction of the PE Max, the Intel 845PE chipset is introduced, and with XP loading Via drivers, to say the least, they will not happily get along.
