Dual CPU prob w/ MSI 694D Pro-AIR v1.0 (MS-6321)

I am having some difficulties with my MSI 694D Pro-AIR V1.0 (MS-6321). It will only boot up when one processor is installed (in CPU1 Socket). Both CPU's work in CPU1, when only one processor is installed. I haven't powered up the machine in over a year, but everything worked fine then. I have tried different video cards, etc... When I have two processors installed the DLED light alternates green from 3 to 4 continuously. What does this mean?

Re-flashing BIOS does not seem to help the situation. I am experiencing the same problem. If I set the FSB manually to 66/83/100 with both processors installed the board will start POST and then freeze after memory is tested and '2 CPUs' is printed on the the screen, I am not able to get into the BIOS. Motherboard works great with one processor (Either one). I don't get it. All of the other components check out (both processors, memory, and video adapter tested in a ASUS CUSL2-C), there MUST be a problem with the motherboard. I am sending it in, unless you have any other suggestions.

694d Pro AIR v1.0 (ms6321) HELP!!

I was given a 694d Pro AIR v1.0 board to use as a spare server. I have 2 PIII cumine 866mhz chips for it.. vcore of 1.7.
Problem is: When I cold boot the machine it hangs with no video..although everything else is blasting away.. (fans, lights, harddrives etc).. If I continue to push the reset button a few times it will boot up as normal. (quite a few times!!)
So began my saga. First I installed a new 550w psu to make sure I had enough for the dual chips.
Both are the exact same stepping etc.. checked with the intel checker to be sure. All bios settings are fine but again to be sure I upgraded the bios on it. Still no joy.
checked the memory with new matched memory, again no joy. ?(
When it actually boots, so far it's been stable. but I'm in a bind at this stage.. After a week of messing I've gone back to my old tyan tiger 133 with one cpu just so I can get some work done..
If anyone has any ideas please let me know.. as I'm about to bang my head off the nearest wall and find my hammer. X(

try going to the boards page check the faq
does it need EEC ram ,look at the various tested compatable hardware,cpu compatability etc

Big pob with 694D Pro AIR!!!

Don't know if this is the right place...
I have a 694D PRO AIR Motherboard with Promise Raid Controller pdc20265, Dual PIII-933 and a pair of Quantum Fireball 20.5 GB HDDs in RAID (stripe 2+0).
A few days ago i decided to format and reinstall win2000 (it always worked fine in 2 years...), but since i have started setup procedure (via CD boot) it cannot see HDDs!!
My procedure:
> I insert win2K cd-rom, reboot, start install procedure
> I press F6, it asks me for floppy base driver for Promise Controller, it reads it and everything goes fine (it seems...)
> It goes on, ask me for EULA things and so on, i accept and..... IT SAYS ME THAT DOES NOT FIND ANY DRIVE MOUNTED ONBOARD!!!
From this point i dunno what to do, i tryed everything, including:
- MoBo bios upgrade
- driver upgrade
- connect drives on normal IDE port, format them and reconnect to Promise Controller
- analyze HDDs surface via Maxtor supplyed utility
- controller driver update
The strange thing is that dos-booting from floppy (win95 and win98 floppy boot) it can see my c: stripe array with correct capacity (40GB, 2 HDDs of 20.5GB each), i can format it and Fdisk it if i want!
I tryed also with a live linux installation (a linux based OS, capable to install itself on RAM from cd, called Knoppix) and it can see the 40GB array too!!!
The only one that cannot see any array stripe is win2000 installer.
(Forgot to mention that FastTrak Utility says that Stripe array is up and functional).
Can you help me?!??!
Am I missing something!??!
Thanks in advance...

Ok, i tryed booting IDE and booting SCSI.
No solution seems to work.
Every OS but win2K installer can see my stripe array!!! (linux can see it, DOS can see it...)
The strange thing is that when i install win2000 and push F6 and i give it the driver's floppy everything goes normally, but after a few screeens it says that there is no disk present into system!!!
HHEELLPP!!!

WinXP problems with MSI 694D Pro v1.0 (MS-6321)

Greetings, i have some serious problems with WinXP install with my "brand new" MSI 694D Pro, PCB Rev 1.0 motherboard.
Running with one cpu is just fine, installation and inside windows it's completly stable after chaning a few leaking caps.
However, if running with both cpus I have serious problems installing as well as running Windows.
Once I manged to get in, and then it was 100% 2xPrime95 stable for 6hours.
Latest BIOS, no issues with ram etc.
I narrowed the problem down (I think) to the ACPI identification of the secondary processor on startup. Is this a known problem to v1.0 PCB's of this board, is there a workaround, can one set the ACPI ID manually.
I'd prefer to run WinXP Pro SP1 on this computer, and sure hope I will not have to be forced to Win 2000 Pro for this issue.
Does anyone have any tips or workarounds?
Specs;
MSI 694D Pro (MS-6321) with latest BIOS that's supposed to fix WinXP issues
2x512 133mhz SDRAM doublesided
2x866/133 256mb cache Coppermine w matching stepping
More then enough cooling
HEC 400w PSU
A handfull of HDD's and a few optical units.
WinXP Pro (early release without any SP on install), don't recall build atm sorry.
So far I have tried with diffrent ram, diffrent BIOS's, diffrent PSU's, inside and outside the case, Memtest86 error free, a horseload of diffrent BIOS settings, minimum hardware installed and most things in diffrent compinations.
I'm a hardware geek and is well versed in those checklists so I don't think I have missed anything and is pretty convinced that the other hardware is working as it should, I'm pretty lame on OS handeling thou.
Anyone?

Everything was just fine once I was in WinXP, thats where I ran Prime95 ... But I only managed that once, I havn't managed to replicate that.
That once I installed with once CPU and the added then second one then rebooted. Realy wierd that I can't replicate that...
EDIT;
Some clarification

Msi 694D pro and newer Graphics Cards

Hello.
I have a MSI 694D pro MB with 2x P3@1Ghz, 1.5Gb ram (2x512(pc133) + 2x256(pc133), a raid stripe of 2x120Gb WD hdds and a 400W PS running Win2k SP4.
Problem:
I had an Matrox G400 w 32 MB ram and I bought a new GF 6200 card since now even tbs games are 3d and the matrox couldn't keep up.
The GF 6200 is agp 8x but it sais it works well on 4x.
When installed, windows will freeze at startup unless i deactivate "enable agp 4x" from bios, in which case everything works fine except i have NO 3D hardware acceleration... Wich sucks since it makes the gf 6200 a rather expensive 2D Virge lookalike with 128mb ram...
I tested the gf 6200 on a different system and works fine, even on a agp 4x only board (a kt333 msi).
I also put in a radeon 9600 pro borrowed from someone and the results are the same... Win freezes on startup
After some investigations i found out it crashes upon loading "viaagp*.sys"
I tried the latest availeble via drivers and noting...
Does anyone have any ideea what to do about it?
Thanks alot for any possible information.

Well it's old... it was taken from the server along with the mobo...
It is a very solid design and quiet, even after years of work.
Should I buy a new PS?
To get a complete picture of how much power it is used in my box:
msi 964D pro MB
2xP3@1Ghz
1.5 Gb ram - 2x512Mb + 2x256Mb (pc133)
2x120Gb WD stripe
two maxtor 120Gb standalone drives
- all 4 hdds have add-on coolers
1 x LG dvd-rw
gf 6200 graphics card
audigy2 zs audio card
intel pro gigabit lan card
usb2/firewire controller card
1x system fan
... i guess this covers it, but... how come it works when i disable agp 4x mode in bios?
does the graphics card "power down" parts of the gpu?

MSI 694D Pro

Hey there,
I found in an auction site that a board with only one processor is sold cheaply, so I love to give it a shot.
However, is there any way to test the 2nd socket whether it is busted or not? The 1st socket works without the termination CPU, so I guess it can work alone. But the 2nd... ?

Hi there,
I finally got myself another almost similar 1GHz which has the exactly same stepping, and the same core, and everything else same.
The machine works okay in two processors, but I don't feel a lot much faster, one of the sample games I played powered by Unreal2003 engine doesn't work well - what programs are really dual-processor compatible?
Here's my final specs:
MSI 694D Pro2
2x 1GHz Pentium III EB
256MB PC133 SDRAM
Geforce 6200A
edit: I put a 6200A video card inside - it's an 8x AGP, but my board is 4x AGP - so I think it works okay right? The whole installation of Win2000 and the other operating system is okay and no problems.

MSI 694D Pro CPU problem

I have a Celeron Tualatin 1000A, and is not working on this motherboard. All signal led's are red. I have tested the cpu on other motherboard, it is working. I have instaled a celeron 600MHz on the motherboard, it's working. so if the cpu and the motherboard are OK, what is the problem????? I have updated the bios.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no way it will work, the board doesn't support Tualatin CPUs.

MSI 694D Pro 2 - Mboard - No Sound!

Need Help, i killed my AIR 694D-Pro Motherboard

hello,
somedays ago i bought a server with very fine hardware.
the motherboard was a MSI 694D-Pro AIR, very fine - i got very excited. i pulled out the ati agp graphics-card and put in an asus V6800 AGP2x. Some Reboots were OK and Linux was very happy...
I powered down my computer and went out of the office, 1 hour later i came back and pushed the powerbutton .....there was coming smoke out ofthe case 8o i examined everything, and at least i screwed out the motherboard and had a look on the backside.....
There was a 'copper-line' i mean a 'path' on the board (my english is bad) which was melted! X(
i followed the line and saw i goes from the agp-powerPIN.
UPS! the connection for power was melted down, now i know why the server wont boot up. the status-leds on the motherboard are all on and ugly red.
can please somebody help me reparing my computer? i think of simply connecting a cable to the agp-powerPIN to bridge the melted 'line'
sorry for my bad english....i hope somebody could understand
thanks in advance for any help
volker

I don't believe it can be fixed.
Check the card, it might also be burnt, and open the power supply to see if that's burnt.
Then remove the board from the case and look for extra stanoff's under the boards ( the metal pins that hold the board in place ).
The board is probably dead, but you need to be sure your not going to burn up anything else...

694D Pro Dual CPU Support

HI Guys,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this.
I have 2 MSI 694D Pro Mainboards. each running 1 x 866Mhz P3 CPU's
I have tried upgrading to 2 x 1GHz FC-PGA in each system.
Each system will boot with 1 1Ghz Cpu Installed, but when 2 CPU's are installed the system freezes on Post test.
I have applied Bios Ver 1.9 as the one's after this state 694D Pro AR and AIR.
Please help if poss.
Thanx

Well I don't know what's going on then, cos it is definately a 733.
During the boot the display showed PIII 1000Mhz, 2 CPUS and on the post bios results table it showed all the normal Ide devices etc but also depicted the Cpu's as being 1000Mhz/733Mhz.
So it definately picked it up correctly.
I must have a Gremlin in the system somewhere, all I can say is that I now have 1 Dual P3 1Ghz working fine with Windows XP Pro.
I'll let you know on the second system, I will flash the Bios with the same as the other board V3.2 before doing anything else.

Nadeem . . . .

694D-Pro v1.0 and dual PIII 1GHz

Hi all.
I have a MSI 694D-Pro with 2 x PIII 1GHz that I have enormous problems with.
Both CPU's are marked as follows:
Intel 01 Costa Rica
1000/256/133/1.75V
3254A384-0651
PIII SL52R
The only difference is that where the first CPU has 3254A384-0651, the second has 3254A384-0653.
The motherboard works fine with one CPU, but refuses to boot with both.
I did a quick test where I used one of the 1GHz as first CPU and installed a PIII 800MHz as second, and after some failed attempts it actually booted, saying that both CPU's were running at 1GHz. However, I would naturally like to get the two 1GHz running together.
Can anyone verify that I should be able to use these CPU's, and if so, what I should do to make it work?

...it actually booted, saying that both CPU's were running at 1GHz. However, I would naturally like to get the two 1GHz running together.
You can, with a little tweaking, force a 800MHz CPU to act as a 1GHz, but it is not recommended. I totally understand that I cant run one CPU at 1GHz and the other at 800MHz, but that was never my intention.
I used the 800MHz as merely a test, and surprisingly, it worked. That is one of the reasons Im so puzzled by this. The system actually managed to boot with a combination of CPU's that should not work, but with two CPU's perfectly suited for this purpose, it just refuses to even post!
PS.
Im sure the avatar in your post was meant as a friendly joke, but I do not appreciate to be called stupid. Especially not when it concerns computers, which happens to be my area of expertise.

694D Pro + Geforce4 440 doesn´t work properly

Hi friends,
I have a MSI 694D Pro with dual 1Ghz PIII, 2GB PC133, Raid 40GB ATA100 HD and GeForce4 440 64MB DDR with WinXP Pro.

MSI 694D (MS-6321v1) freeze @ 0100

I need some help... i have an MSI 694D Pro(MS-6321 v1.0), 2x Intel PIII 1GHz, 1Gb PC133 and a MSI GeForce2 (MS-8826 v2.0) , 550W PSU since 1year... and they had been working really good! Now, on power-on, i get a blank screen and D-LED freezes at 0100(keyboard controller??)
Possible solution(s)?
Thanks

Remove all your PCI cards and IDE cables.
With only the CPU+memory+VGA try to get it to post.
Next step is to clear the CMOS and try other memory and VGA, the CPU is unlikely to die so test that last.

694D Pro-A (Onboard ATA100)

Hi!
I have an 694D Pro-A (Onboard ATA100)!
My w2k configuration was:
P.Master - 40GB
P.Slave - CDROM
S.Master - 160Gb
S.Slave - 160Gb
ATA100 - empty
(all HD are maxtors)
I have the latest BIOS.
I didn't managed to install the 160GB drives on the ATA controler (neither as Boot nor as storage devices, true pitty, i bought em for this purpose!).
I really loved to have em installed there but with w2k I just couldn't boot afterwards!
(first I installed the OS-w2K on the 40 GB hard disk, then i used maxtors big disk enable utility, after that i connected the 2 160GB disks. If I try to install 'em on the ATA100, i won't boot, so i place em on the second IDE)!
Now I am considering upgrading with a new hard disk [between 200-250GB i do need the space]!
I would prefer using it as boot disk on the ATA100 controller, i f there is some way doing so, but i am afraid that this might won't work for me either this time!
I also wish to use Mandrake 10.2 as OS.
Do you know if presents the same limitations about the 137GB HD barrier?
Do you think i might find some trouble using the disks?
Can you provide me a more healthy hard disk setup, in case you think i place the disks in wrong positions?
Please I need your help!

Finally my MSI 694D Pro A (MS-6321) full functioning!
I read almost everything on the net about Bios settings, irq's, hard disk's, LBA 48bit etc etc...
After hours of testing and moving pci's on the motherboard.
After a great loss [my Deskstar 80GB, used as external device, is dead, excessive mechanical shock (crashed, falling from the case to the pavement )]
now i can say that the problem was IRQ conflicts!!!!!
I assume that this was making my system to halt and even produce corrupted files!!
The motherboard's promise controller shares the same IRQ with the multimedia device (audio on board DirectSound AC'97)!
So when the sound is enabled via bios the controller recognizes the hard disks as PIO MODE 4!!!!
I also used to have a USB 2.0 pci controller which was sharing the same IRQ [total 3 devices with the same IRQ] no matter in which PCI i was installing it!!
All this make the promise controller NOT to work well
Solution
I bought an extra pci terratec audio card [18euros] and now everything works just fine!!!!!
I disabled the audio from the bios!
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HAVE MORE THAN 2 HARD DISKS ON THE PROMISE ATA100 RECOGNIZED AS ULTRADMA 5[AND NOT PIO MODE 4]!
It seems that only the audio on board creates THIS problem with the promise controller when shares the same IRQ with it!!
Sharing IRQ with my pci USB 2.0 card doesn't seems to bother THE PROMISE!!!!
For now i am a happy user of linux Mandrake 10.2

my hard disk's are almost full with data [all with the same as precaution]
with NO corrupt files and i feel
secure enough to empty 'em and start using them!
some photos, sorry for the bad quality
to my "new machine' based on the msi 6321
to msi's manual that lack's of everything, but most important...correct and valid information to setup the board correctly.
On my next buy the first thing i am going to check is the manual online...just to be sure....
thank you for your time Grayone
Till the next time!
PS my promise controller still recognizes the hard disks as 131GB as you can see on the last photo but now it recognizes as ATA100 [UDMAmode5]!!!
linux doen't seems to bother about it, i am not sure if this is true also for windows...
PS2 IF YOU THINK I MADE SOMETHING WRONG PLEASE CORRECT ME...DON'T LET ME IN THE "DARK"...

Howto use onboard Promise Raid Controller pdc20265 on 694D PRO AR Ver1

Currently I'm running Win2k on my MSI 694D Pro AR Ver 1.0 board with Bios version W6321VMS.310 and the included Fasttrack-Family Win2k Raid-Controller driver for my Promise Raid Controller pdc20265 with lite bios.
Due to software updates I'm now absolutely required to switch to Windows XP Prof. However this is the cause for my inquiry:
I downloaded and installed the latest available Bios version W6321VMS.370 from MSI site.
On installation of XP I tried to include the pdc20265 Fasttrack raid driver from MSI site to get access to my HD's. However WinXP couldn't find any HD's. Remark: XP with SP1 and VIA 4in1443v.exe installed.
So I repeated this procedure with the original drivers Fasttrack family and pdc202065 which were attached on floppy. Unfortunately no success as well.
Then I have put the HD on the Ultra66 channel and installed XP first without raid and ultra 100 support.
Later I re-enabled the on-board promise device in bios and unfortunately WinXP didn't recoginze the device by itself. So I provided the latest pdc20265 driver from MSI site. XP complained that the driver is not digitally signed. After reboot the promise device reported an error under WinXP.
I repeated this procedure with the original drivers Fasttrack family and pdc202065 which were attached on floppy. Unfortunately no success as well.
Why MSI-Site says this pdc20265 driver supports WinXP if there are only the Win2k and WinME,98... drivers included?
Currently I can't use the promise device at all under WinXP. This means even I don't have an Ultra 100 controler available.
Has anyone an idea how to install HD's on WinXP with the corresponding promise raid drivers for my pdc20265 onboard chipset?
I'd really appreciate your help!

Some of the suggestions I don't understand quite well. Please could you explain further:
> remove the other two drives leaving the raid pair
> and cd only
>
> put raid 2nd in boot order
What do you mean with that?
> reboot press the key you need to get in to raid bios
> create the array and make it bootable
array is already created (Note: there is important data on it, can't recreate it! Only Segate 80GB is free and empty)
I don't want to boot from raid.
>
> now boot to cd to install,right at beginning it will say
> press f6 to install mass storage drive you need the
> driver on floppy to install it
I already tried the XP-Install routine to specify additional mass storage drivers. (Note: 1 single 80GB Drive was attached) Which are the suitable ones? As mentioned I tried the following:
1. Attached floppy 'Fasttrack family drivers'
Result: Message: Driver is for Win2k only. Not a single Harddrive shows for installing XP.
2. Attached Floppy (Promise Ultra 100 lite, 256 only)
Result: Driver is for Win2k only. Installation procedure hangs.
