845pe max - no signal on monitor

Hello. I have problem with booting my pc. There's no any picture on the monitor, though the button lights green without flashing. The signal's are like this: 1, then after pause of about minute 2 beeps, and then 1. The d-bracket stays at position "Initializing floppy drive controller". The floppy isn't connected (though if to connect all the same). Clearing cmos didn't help.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Well, yes, it worked everything allright before.
I've changed the video for a new one, tried different ram in different slots, changed the battery, cleared cmos with jumper...checked the cables... The monitor is working on another computer.
configuration:
# intel pentium4
# msi 845pe max
# kyngston/ddr/333mhz, 512mbx2
# zotac/nvidia geforce 6200/agp/256bm
# seagate 320gb ide
# windows xp
# power man Power Output:430W 18A @12V Output

  • 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.

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

  • Since update download monitor shows "No Signal" and "Monitor Going to Sleep" over and over

    I have an HP w2072a Monitor and a Pavillion p7-1436s computer.  I run Windows 8.  Since downloading an update yesterday, I cannot get my monitor to work.  I have unplugged it, plugged it in, tried another monitor, tried another cable, turned the computer off and on several times, played with the sleep button, tried all the buttons on the monitor--nothing works.  If I hit the "On" button, the light turns to blue briefly, I get the screen showing "No signal" then "Monitor Going to Sleep" comes up and the light turns amber---over and over again.  Could this be related to the update I received?  I think the update said it was setting a restore point, but with no monitor, I am stuck!  

    Hi dianthus,
    Sorry to hear about the issue after doing the update. Do you recall what the update was for? I have included a document regarding your issue.

  • 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-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

    Thanks,

    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.

  • Mac mini won't start up. No signal by monitor, No sad mac

    After my mac mini went to sleep today, it refused to wake up. I thought it was the keyboard, so I restarted the mac, it chimes, HD seems to spin, but no signal on monitor. I tried a 2nd monitor and no go.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I was able to get the mini to boot into target disk mode....
    can the video card portion go bad?
    I tried zapping PRAM and that didnt do anything
    Does target disk mode mean that the RAM memory is ok?

  • 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
