845PE Max2-FIR Beeps

Strange problem.  My computer beeps.  It seems to work fine but on or off every ten minutes or so two quick beeps will sound.  Could this be my motherboard battery?  If so what's the process to change it?

My 845e mobo also beeps a couple of times quite frequently (sometimes with a couple of clicking sounds in between the 2 beeps)
I still havnt found out why this happens or indeed whats causing it.
Maybe between us we can see what matching components we may have cos despite me posting several times in the past here at these forums i still didnt get any help as to the possible cause.
PS: i have had alot of PC's in the past (all home built by myself) and ive never heard any of them beep at me during 'normal' use, this has had me baffled for along time now, i have already changed my mobo battery as this was the first thing i tried.

  • Dose 845PE Max2 FIR support Solaris (Sun OS)?

    hi..
    Dose 845PE Max2 FIR support Solaris 8 or 9(Sun OS)?
    please let me know it..
    thank you..

    I'm still deciding whether to get the newest Solaris. I have not tried Solaris7 on mine. My guess would be that, if it installs, the onboard sound (may) not work.

  • LITE Bios Promise MSI 845PE MAX2 FIR

    Can any one tell me where I can find an update for the promise lite bios to the normal bios.
    I have 4 harddisks attached and I can only create 1 raid array.
    I would like to create a second on but the lite bios doesn't allow this.
    Thanks

    cartoen - no, that's not correct. You can create as many arrays as you wish.
    The trick is, attach your drives one at a time. This allows the lite BIOS to define each drive as a separate array.
    Or you can create 2 arrays of course, or 3 - just add the drives in the order you want.
    So - for a 2 drive array, add 2 drives at the same time. Raid BIOS combines the two as a single array.
    For single drive arrays, add one drive at a time, then switch off and add new drive(s). (This is what I do)

  • MSI 845PE MAX2-FIR...6 USB Ports?

    Okay, so I recently installed my MSI mobo. everything went exceptionally well. No major issues at all...except...
     Well, here goes...
    The manual states that this motherboard has 6 USB 2.0 compatability...2 Rear, and 4 Front.
     Okay, obviously the 2 rear ones are integrated, but where are the pins for the 4 front USB ports?
     I have a Lian Li aluminum case. It has 4 USB ports accessable on the front of the case.
     Inside the case, coming from the front ports, there are a total of 16 wires, all single pin connectors, (4 per port). I can't seem to find where to connect these to on the mobo, so I can use my front ports.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Fres

    According the the manual the board has 4 rear and 2 front ports.
    There are 2 rear ports under the PS/2 ports and another 2 above the audio ports.
    The 2 front ports are connected to JUSB1 (page 2-27 of the manual).

  • My Pc doesn't wake up from standby (845PE Max2)

     Hi,
     I have Windows Xp Pro installed and when I stand by my computer I can't get it to wake up successfuly. The PC is powered up when I press the power button, but I don't get any video signal or USB power (both my keyboard and mouse are connected to USB ports, and they don't get power after waking up).
     Any clue on this? What should I do to make it work?
     And could it have something to do with installed software? Besides the drivers for the hardware on the end of this message, I have Norton Internet Security 2003 (antivirus + firewall), Nero ImageDrive and Daemon Tools (these are tools similar to VirtualCD, thus making new cd/dvd drives available on my system).

     Hi,
     I own a Chieftec full tower black case that came with a 360W power supply from Chieftec (with PFC). I know this isn't a "top of the line" power supply, but I think it is enough to handle my system.
     Besides the power issue, what could influence this? I know that my PC handled well the standby feature, but this was before I made some changes (moved a CD burner to the Intel IDE bus and placed a hard drive on the Promise controller, replacing the CD burner).

  • WinXP and MSI 845PE MAX2

    Got the following problem.
    I've just purchased an MSI 845PE MAX2 (MS-6704) with a PIV 2,4ghz 533 processor and 512mb DDR PC2700.
    Onboard USB/FIREWIRE/LAN and ATA133raid are enabled. My graphics card is a Matrox G400 which is using IRQ10.
    I have 3 HDD's installed together with 1 DVD-ROM and 1 3,5" diskdrive.
    I have WinXP proffesional installed without any servicepack.
    When I boot my system, everythings goes fine. I see the XP bootscreen and so. After the bootscreen, the pc normally goes to the sign-in screen. Well not for me.
    After the bootscreen my monitor goes black, not standby just black and the system doesn't do anything.
    Booting in save mode is no problem.
    I have also disabled all the onboard stuff and booted the system with only my graphicscard in it. There is no IRQ that is used twice.
    Can somebody help me?
    thx

    Yeah, strange isn't?!
    I've installed the RAID drivers during installation (HIT F6 if you want to install a third party driver)
    Finished installation, restarted the pc and it gave this problem.
    So for short:
    Builded a new pc.
    Everything worked.
    Installed WinXP on a new HDD (80gb WD)
    Made 1 partition of 8gb NTFS, the rest is unallocated.
    Installed WinXP without any service packs
    XP installed the drivers for:
    USB/FIREWIRE/LAN/RAID/SOUND and also for some PCIcards: SCSIcard without bios, SB Live.
    I had also a Pinnacle TVcard placed in the system but XP doesn't have any drivers included for it.
    After finishing installation, rebooted.
    XP wouldn't start.
    Removed all pci cards.
    same problem
    disabled USB/FIREWIRE/LAN/SOUND
    still the same problem.
    Maybe a driver problem of a pci card which I removed but still is 'installed' in XP?

  • Problem with 845PE Max2 & Saphire 9000Pro

    Hello everyone!!!
    I have a little problem.
    3 days ago I change 845E max m/b to 845PE Max2.
    And I have a problem with Saphire 9000Pro.
    When I install Intel Chipset Driver I cannot install Ati drivers.
    When I install Ati driver, then install Intel Chipset INF , but windows hang on, crashen and something like that.
    With 845E Max this problem doesn't exist.
    What's going on.
    I have problem with m/b or with Saphire 9000Pro.
    Please HELP!!!! ;(

    Look in the bios PNP settings for "assign IRQ to VGA" and be sure it's enabled.
    Did you do a clean OS install when changing boards?

  • Immediate boot after shutdown on 845pe max2

    Got my brand new PC with a MSI 845PE MAX2 mainboard (MS-6704) in an AOPEN casing. Problem: if i select shutdown in WinXPpro the machine shuts down (even power-led is off). And then immediately it boots/starts again.
    What could this be? I already removed all unnecessary cards, network connection, modem, second HDU, unplugged all USB devices. Turned off APM in the BIOS setting. Changed to an older type keyboard and mouse. Still same problem. All lastest drivers installed, lates BIOS (AMI 1.2) installed. All Xp service packs extra patches are installed.
    Any suggestions? Switchg from S3 to S1 mode in ACPI standbystate doesnt make any difference. Turning off ACPI is a bad idea, as the machine wont boot XP anymore.
    Pressing the on/off button the machine shuts down as expected and doesnt turn itself on anymore. Where can i find more info on the S1, S3 modes etc?

    Indeed it was a faulty powersupply. I tried with a Qtec 400W and that one works perfectly. So thank you Assaf for the suggestion. I already tries all i could find in all newsgroups, just this was my last resort. Now to convince my supplier to get me a decent (quiet) powersupply!

  • 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

  • Keyboard-WAKE/BOOT-UP with 845PE Max2 (v2.0) ??

    Maybe you got this question before, but:
    Is it NOT possible to start/boot this motherboard by using the keyboard??
    I have not seen any options in the BIOS (flashed to the latest v3.1)... however - there's an option to use the keyboard to wake-up from the S3-state (stand-by)... but that's not really useful for me!
    I want to power-on the machine by using the keyboard and/or mouse only!!! (The PSU handles 2A on the 5VSB trail)
    I thought this was standard on most motherboards nowadays but I can't really see this on the MSI 845PE Max2...
    Have I missed something out?  (Is this a BIOS issue only? The realtime-clock-power-on the system works just fine - so I suppose the keyboard feature could be implemented fairly easy??)
    Please help!  
    Thanks,
    Tobias Nilsson

    Gosh, I've tried it!  S3 state is not an option!!! (but S1 is?)
    What I want is simply this (one scenario of many):
    * plug in the power to the psu/computer
    * turn the damn thing on using the keyboard!
    (that's because I'm using a fine logitech cordless keyboard and I'm just so cool  :]  I don't want/need to pressing the "power-on" button on the computer case!)
    Gosh, I've done this on the MSI (k7n420) and the ASUS motherboards for years...
    Well, guess I've to talk to MSI... (wish me luck...)

    I Have a 845pe max2 and I install the o.s Windows 2003 and I use the drivers of windows 2000 it looks that is working ok but it is not certify can any one tell me where I can download the new drivers for Windows 2003 and for Linux redhat 9

    for linux:
    The distributions usually have most drivers compiled as modules which should be loaded automaticly at boot.

  • 845PE MAX2 , RAID and SCSI

    Hi, (sorry for my english but i'm french)
    I have a serious problem with my 845PE MAX2 BFIR. When i connect my Adaptec 29160 SCSI card, i can't use the raid controler. It seems to be identical with 2940 card. I tried all the PCI connectors, but same problem.
    It seems that Promise fastrack133lite is a Promise fastrackTX2000 controler, and at Promise website, they post a new bios :
    FastTrakTX2000 BIOS 60.96KB  2.00.0.28 Windows
     2002/11/13
    Description Fixes EDBA problem on some motherboards. Symptoms include not being able to boot to the boot device (floppy, CD, etc.). This symptom may be more prevalent if there is also another controller, such as a SCSI adapter, in the system.
    but it's impossible to flash it, MSI has to integrate it in the mobo's bios.
    Please help !
    Thanks.

    appears it was tested with version b
    any idea what differences are as scsi is not a topic im up on

  • STUPID BIOS (on 845PE Max2-R) does not halt on Key Errors! Future Vers

    The BIOS on my MSI MB (845PE Max2-R) does not halt on Key Errors, means it does not halt if there is no Keyboard detected. That's really STUPID - without any Keys, you not really able to do anything with the machine. And this feature cannot be setup in CMOS!  :( (Like in ASUS boards for example.)
    Jo

    You're right - absolutely  The only thing is, that BIOS should not only recognize a keyboard, but also recognize when there is none and in those cases stop hardware initialization procedures at POST screen.

  • MSI 845PE MAX2 FSB 800???

    I've got the MSI 845pe max2, and have been trying to find out if it's possible to get FSB 800 of this board like the MSI 845PE MAX3?

    Hi,
    You're using the "Network access" service of the desktop box I guess? That gives you access to the Bluetooth LAN adapter being installed with the Widcomm software. If you want to make some connections out you have to configure Internet connection sharing on the desktop box as well - and ofcourse make sure that the two devices are correctly paired with sufficient permissions in the security config. I have been running about the same setup on a slightly older 845E Max2-BLR MB using XP with virtually zero issues...
