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

Connecting Powersupply to 845PE Max 2 FIR

This is probably a stupid question but I rather ask a stupid question than blow up my new 845PE Max 2 FIR. This motherboard has 3 power connections. Do I need to connect the power supply to all three or do I just use the big 20 pin connector by itself?
Thanks in advance

Thanks.
I got it up and running late last night. I didn't have time to mess around with it much, only to find out that when I set the high performance mode from the BIOS the system will not boot (no beep code, nothing. I had to clear CMOS and start over). I'll post more of my opinions about the board when I have more time to play with it.
Any idea why I would be having the boot problem in high performance mode? I have a P4 2.4B, MSI G4MX440-VTD8X Video Card, Kingston DDR333 512meg RAM, MAXTOR 40Gb ATA133 Hard Drive.
Thanks again and I hope you guys will understand that I am not only a newbie to this board I am also a newbie to building computers from scratch. :]

MSI 845PE Max Lan - MS-6580 Ver.2.0 boot failure

I recently purchased this mainboard and components. All's working fine except for 1 strange issue:
On each 1st boot-up (after I powered down) the harddisk (UDMA 100, 80GB Western Digital) is not detected. This results in a boot failure.
After this 1st failure I reset and from then on booting is OK, harrdisk is succesfully detected (although it always takes about 10-15 seconds before detecting).
Anyone else experiencing the same problems?
This is my config:
- MSI 845PE Max Lan
- 2,4GHz P4
- Western Digital 80GB 7200rpm (set as master, only device on its cable)
- ATI Radeon 9700
- 512 MB DDR (pc2700)
Hope anyone can help out.

Note: FSB533 CPU is required in order to choose DDR333 selection in the BIOS setup
thats what is says here

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 vs 845PE Max2

Hello to the forum,
Not yet an MSI user I'am new to this group. I have a little question.
I have ordered a 845PE Max2 MB. Now my supplier lets me know he can only deliver 845PE Max. Can anyone say something about the differences of these borads?
TIA

Max2 has hardware based sound vs software on the Max.
Max2 has OPTIONAL gigabit LAN, RAID and firewire.
Max has OPTIONAL 100Mbit LAN
If you compare the basic models there is only the soundcard to tell them apart, but when comparing the loaded versions the Max2 is much better.

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.

845PE MAX 2 and RAM

Hi
I need some help, just got a 845PE MAX2 board , while partitioning and installing my OS i noticed some unstabilitys, the PC kept turning it self off.
Now i cant even boot it up, dies 1 sec after i turn it on.
My system :
Intel p4 2.4
asus geforce 4 ti 4200
Apacer 512 pc400 ddr pc3200
win2000 sp3
IBM deskstar hdd
I was told (by a friend) that the pc400 RAM would work with this board, is that so? Or is the RAM my problem? If so , is it possible that i might have damaged the board and ram?
Any tips?
Thanks

I also have the 845PE Max2-FIR board with a 2.4 GHz P4...I'll have to check what type of RAM it is - it's PC2700 333 RAM, but I'm not sure what type.
I'm using WD 80 GB drives (the 8MB cache model).
Initially, I had XP loaded already on my hard drive and when I booted up, it started to load XP and then rebooted - it just continued to do this. I had ME dual-booting on these drives - and it worked fine! So...I figured it's a driver issue and I should reload XP.
I've been able to load Windows XP with no problems, but as soon as I install the Intel INF driver, I start having lock-ups and blue screens in XP...it might be RAM related, but it's very, very hard to tell...
I'll try some PC2100 266 MHz RAM and see if it makes any difference...anybody have any thoughts?

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 (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).

Missing Gigabit lan in bios?

Quick question, Has anyone solved this problem with the missing gigabit option in their bios? Have they said its a problem? Return your board or what?
K8n Neo Platinum board

The gigabit lan option is not in the bios as indicated in the motherboard manual, the MAC Lan option in the bios, will either enable or disable the gigabit onboard lan.

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?

Sometimes yes, often no, but it is unsupported officially so you'll have to live with it.

LAN Geschwingkeit nur bei 100Mbis/s H520e / Gigabit LAN funktioniert nicht

Hallo, ich habe mir vor kurzem einen LENOVO H520e gekauft,
Dieser hat eine Netzwerkkarte verbaut die Gigabit LAN hat. Die Geschwindigkeit sollte also bei 1000Mbit/s liegen. Nur tut sie das leider nicht. Ich habe nur 100Mbit/s.
Stand schon in Kontakt mit Lenovo, aber die Tips bisher waren 1. Treiber von der Lenovo-Seite neu herunterladen und 2. Systemwiederherstellung, da Windows 8.1 wohl noch oft Probleme macht.
Beides brachte jedenfalls keinen Erfolg.
Wenn ich die Eigenschaften des REALTEK PCIe FE Family Controler öffne, bekomme ich auch nur die Geschwindigkeiten 10Mbit und 100Mbit angezeigt, oder eben "automatische Aushandlung" (welche auch ausgewählt ist).
Müsste ich hier nicht die Geschwindigkeit 1000Mbit angezeigt bekommen?
Weiß jemand wie man dieses Problem löst?
Meine Fritzbox ist Gigabit LAN-fähig, und es ist auch aktiviert! Kabel sind CAT6, und sie sind auch definitiv nicht zu lang.
Vielen Dank schonmal für die Antworten.
Gruß Steffen

W-Lan ist das Problem und der Flaschenhals wo es hängt. Kleine Dateien brauchen eh mehr Zeit als eine große, deshalb würde ich bei gößeren Transfers in jedem Fall ein LAN-Kabel anschließen. Ich komme mit der baugleiche My Cloud Mirror bei großen Filmen auf durchgehend 113MB/s im Gigabit-Lan.

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.

Gigabit lan adapter disabled - how to permanently enable it?

On a ThinkPad T61with Vista Business 32 the Gigabit LAN adapter is permanently disabled until I insert a network fly lead. I then run the diagnose and repair option and then its enabled. However when I remove the fly lead the LAN adapter is disabled. How can I make sure it’s permanently enable so when insert a fly lead it connects. Thank you.
Solved!

Hello,
open Access Connection, the see the tab: konfiguration, there is a another tab named global adjustments.
Uncheck disable adapter, when cable is pulled off.

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.
