845PE Max-L problem with pci cards

Got a weird issue with the 845PE Max-L and was wondering if anyone else has come across this. I work in the RMA dept of a nationwide computer wholesaler and recently we've come across atleast 4 of these boards with the same problem. under windows xp it will not detect any pci cards. tried various sticks of ram, video cards, network cards, modems, usb cards, hard drives, pretty much anything we can think of to check for incompatiblities. did the latest bios flash, installed the newest updates in windows xp, but still cant get these boards to detect any pci cards whatsoever. yes we tried different power supplies and yes we tested the pci cards in other systems to make sure none of it was defective, all passed with flying colors. now here's the kicker, under windows 2000 it DID detect the pci cards, however i was unable to successfully load any drivers to any of the devices. We've made a call to our MSI rep to find out if anyone else has run into this or are we just dealing with a bad batch. unfortunatly noone from MSI has contacted us back yet so i decided to try and post here to see if anyone else has come across this odd situation. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Two replies two separate motherboards.  In reference to the 865 / 875 motherboards not recognizing PCI cards I think your link has something to offer.   :biggthumbsup:I'm not going to go back and test it but the reason the PCI cards were not recognized may very well be that the old bios did not properly inspire the intel inf utility to install the correct drivers.  The force method you suggest may well overcome that particular problem.  I would still suggest that merely doing the BIOS upgrade first is the more elegant approach.
Regarding the usb problem with MS update, the inf chipset article would appear to have little to offer.  The 845 MB uses the Intel 845 chipset which is ICH4 by the way.  The updated inf utility was installed in as early in the process as possible.

  • Problems with PCI card on my Mac G5

    I have been having random system wide freezeups on my G5 2.7 purchased as a refurb from Apple store.com back in late March. Other crazy symptoms are Logic Pro freezing, ie - application freezes, and various funky glitches while recording and then stopping playback. I have had the computer put through a battery of diagnostics at my local Apple store and all components, RAM (4.5GB), 3 hard drives (the Mac HD, the audio hard drive mounted internally and a Lacie firewire 800 drive for the Ivory samples), the computer itself, optical drive - all come up perfectly sound.
    Using my Apple Care technicians instructed me to elliminate one by one my peripherals which include the Mackie Control Universal, Motu Micro Express Midi Interface, Ivory Grand Piano Software, my Korg Triton, and in the beginning my Echo Mia PCI card. Oh yeh and Logic Pro 7.2 was removed to see if that was the problem.
    The only thing that caused the problems to stop was the removal of the Echo Mia card. Also tried changing it to a different slot to no avail. So the Echo tech support was contacted and even though they refused to believe that their card was the problem they took it back. So since the Mac 1/8 inch inputs and outputs are anything but professional filled with groundloops, beeping and hums I did a forum search on many differnet forums to find a card that would fit my needs inexpensively until I finally get the Apogee Ensemble that I'm waiting for. The same name came up for bringing audio into a Mac via the PCIX slot for a small sum of money - ESI Juli@. Many people said this was a quality unit with a good track record for being used on a G5. I have the most updated drivers from the ESI company. Darned if I'm not discovering the same freezeups and glitches with this card.
    I have come to understand that these cards should work in my computer, hassle free. I have a G5 2.7 with supposedly 3 PCIX slots. What am I doing wrong here? Are there voltage issues here?

    Turned out to be a corruption in some Logic preferences. I believe this was because of a bad chip of RAM I had. It took weeks to figure out why I was having glitches and system wide freezeups. One day the Apple Hardware tests came up perfect and then another day the "quick test" showed a RAM error.
    I had to delete a file called "logic" and a loose file named "apple.logic.plist" (something like that). As a result of that I lost my templates and settings. Then I had to reset the startup assistant in Logic. I think a handy shortcut, although I am a newbie to Logic, is to formulate a song (file) and name it "Marks template number one", then save it as a template but don't erase the file. Then if you lose your templates like I did, because of the corrupted preferences, the song file still is in your hard drive and you'll just have to save it as the template again.

  • Problem with PCI Card Slot

    Is there a way to try to test this thing's PCI Slot?
    I have a Dazzle SmartMedia Card Adapter and it has stopped working. Nothing happens when inserted. I bought a 2nd card and trying to install it, the same thing. Nothing. So now, I'm trying to decide if its the card slot, the upgrade to 10.4.10 or Sophos Anti-Virus software.

    Hi, Marty. Your card slot's connection to the logic board may have loosened; that happens sometimes with Titanium Powerbooks, especially those that are handled and transported often. Flexing of the PB's case and frame is the cause. If that's your problem, it's very easy to remedy.
    Release your keyboard catches and gently tip the keyboard back over onto the wrist rests and trackpad, being careful not to jerk its ribbon cable. You needn't disconnect the cable. Beneath the normal positions of the X and D keys is a translucent plastic rectangular tab about 1" x 3/8". That tab is the card slot's connector to the logic board. Press down very firmly on it with two
    fingertips. If you feel or hear it shift even the smallest amount, it was probably a little loose, and is now properly seated again. Put the keyboard back in position and test the card slot. Let us know how you fare.

  • Problem with my card ..

    hi ,
    i have a problem with my card , that i use it before and its fine but now itunes tells me  " Your payment methon was decline "
    and there is no none Option to choose  .
    i cant download anything now , cuz the store need to edit my payment first !!
    Any idea ?!

    If the reason you can't initialize your PCI-MXI-2 is because you can't find vxiinit, the good news is that you probably are initializing your PCI-MXI-2 automatically.
    The functionality of vxiinit is now performed automatically by the driver when the system starts. This has actually been true for the last few versions starting several years ago. For a while, we continued to provide a version of vxiinit that didn't actually do anything, for compatibility with installations where legacy code required the existence of vxiinit; if you think something like that would still be useful, please describe your situation so we can consider it as a use case in future versions.
    If you are seeing some other error saying that you can't initialize your PCI-MXI-2, please reply
    to this answer with further details.

  • Problem with RSC card on sun fire v490

    Hi all,
    I have a little problem.
    I got few v490 that were already used.
    When I connect to the management port of the RSC card I get the prompt of the RSC password, somthing i don't have.
    The OS doesn't get loaded and I can't do anything. ( if I had access to the OS I would have reseted the password)
    So now, I got left with the only option i thought of.
    1. Disconnect the RSC card,
    2. This will force the output of the consol to go to the serial port(tty).
    3. Jumpstart the machine (beacuse I don't even have the password for the machine)
    4. connect the RSC card, and reset the password.
    There is someone here that encountered this problem??
    Maybe there is a jumper that can reset the RSC password. i don't know... every response will be great!
    Thanks!!!

  • Problems with Airport Card

    I move back and forth from school to home, and I've never had a problem with my card before. I recently restored my compuer back to its factory settings, and it was running great with my Airport Express. I came home after moving, and my computer won't read the WPA hooked up in my house. It says I am connected, but won't let me access the internet. I'm not sure why. We tried rebooting the connection, I've looked on my computer, used system preferences and everything. I did notice when I tried to use the Network Setup Assistant, it said the password I used to connect was wrong, but when my computer uses the airport icon at the corner of the screen, it accepts the password. Any ideas on how to fix this?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    An additional distressing note -- I went back to aforementioned building with the 10.4.5 Powerbook last night. Did a cold boot...and the Airport Express picked up the correct network DHCP info immediately. Roamed between a couple of WAPs, surfed a couple of sites, then sat down and tried to duplicate this feat...by re-booting at least 6 more times. Nada. I once again got factory default IP addresses on each attempted reboot. I changed nothing from the network settings I'd tried last week with this machine nor were any changes made to the network or WAPs. DHCP didn't work last week on several attempts (and reboots), worked ONCE yesterday on the first boot, then nothing again on the subsequent reboots.
    Again, I'm stressing that there don't "seem" to be problems with the network or WAPs because Windows clients consistently obtain DHCP and authenticate without issue.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

  • Gigantic problems with graphc card GeFore 8800GT under MacPro

    Hello
    I'm a user of MacPro 2 Quad-Core 3GHz computer with NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT graphic card.
    This is my second card like this one becouse I can't find any other with low price for exchange and for good using OpenGL.
    Now I have gigantic problems with this card under Mac again, please help.
    It have extreme temperatures and graphic crashes when I use on any game or anything which harder use it. At real, my older card before burn out and go to trash after this. Now it comes again
    Is there any software to speedup windmill or any thing in my system what I can change for this? I have a plan to buy a cooler, but I need help in software before this.
    Why good quality company like Apple use this bugged cards in expensive computers, I can't understand this.
    Regards
    Dawid

    Nvidia had / has had / a run of problems - and Apple can choose Intel integrated, AMD.... or Nvidia basically. Though on PC side there are reference designs and then HIS (makes a really good ATI with its own design and cooper cooler), EVGA on Nvidia front.
    We don't get all that many options.
    Drivers always get a lot of "heat" and criticism.
    Was so glad to have X1900 as a choice, but not the $399 (or wait and $250 BTO) 5 yrs ago, and its history of problems. And recalls. Or ATI 2600XT. Can't win for losing sometimes.
    One reason I went and bought GTX 460 and run Windows on my Mac Pro today of all things. Other reasons too over the years. Locked into EFI graphic cards and you can have anything you want on the salad bar, as long as you want either shrimp or chicken.
    So heat up the oven, get out the egg timer, and have at it!

  • Problem with credit card verification with firefox 4 (works with safari!)

    I recently upgraded to Firefox 4 and tried to book train tickets online. I have done this many times before with earlier Firefox versions. Now however, after being redirected to the card verification page and submitting my security details, instead of confirming my booking Virgin trains asks me to log on again! I thought it was a problem with the website but I subsequently booked the tickets using Safari so I guess that means there is a problem with Firefox 4. Can I go back to the previous version?

    I, also, have previously made credit card purchases with Firefox version 3 without any problems.
    I only encountered this problem with credit card verification after downloading Firefox 4. I was however able to book tickets successfully, the same day, using Internet Explorer and the card verification went through as normal. I am confident that the problem was due to problems with the new version of Firefox.

  • I have problems with pci-gpib card under windows me, What I need to know what to do in order to fix this problems?

    Hi, I have installed a pci-gpib card in my computer, I have a problem with
    installation, the message of troubleshooting wizard is as follow:
    "One or more missing GPIB interfaces.
    There are several reasons why you might encounter this problem:
    Reason: Your GPIB interface is incorrectly installed.
    Solution: Please verify that your GPIB interface is correctly installed
    and rerun the NI-488.2 Troubleshooting Wizard.
    Reason: You are using a non-Plug-and-Play interface (e.g., AT-GPIB/TNT,
    GPIB-PCII/IIA, GPIB-ENET) and you did not use the Add New Hardware Wizard
    to add the interface to your system properly.
    Solution: Click th
    e Add Hardware button and the Add GPIB Hardware wizard
    will guide you through the process of adding GPIB hardware.
    Reason: For the GPIB-USB and GPIB-1394, the host controller (USB or 1394)
    must be working properly in order to use the GPIB interface.
    Solution: Click on the System Details button for details about the USB and
    1394 host controllers.
    Reason: For the PCMCIA-GPIB and PCMCIA-GPIB+, the PCMCIA host controller
    must be working properly in order to use the GPIB interface.
    Solution: Use the Windows Device Manager to verify that your PCMCIA host
    controller is functioning correctly. Start the control panel by selecting
    "Start>>Settings>>Control Panel", open the System icon and select the
    Device Manager page. If you select "View devices by type", you can look at
    the PCMCIA socket properties to ensure it is correctly enabled."
    And on system details the message is the next:
    "USB Driver type: USB universal host controller"
    "This version of windows does not su
    pport IEEE 1394."
    I am using Windows Me, so i want to know what i need to do to fix this
    problems.
    Best regards.

    If you have a PCI-GPIB card, you needn't worry about the USB port or whether or not Windows ME supports 1394. All you need in NI-488.2 version 1.70 from National Instruments. Install this driver and then insert your card. Windows should detect the card and find the proper driver.
    If this did not happen in the proper sequence, look in the device manager and see if the card was installed as an "other device". If this happens, remove the card in the device manager and have windows redetect it. If this is not a solution, you may consider the ask an engineer page at www.ni.com/ask. Provide as many details as possible.
